Tar production efficiency

[Damon_Cooper]

Hi there!
There was some info about different wood blocks provide different amounts of tar. Any info of what types are better for that purpose?

Pine or spruce.

Pine or spruce.

Sounds more like a guess. Maybe some numbers? Was it a conclusion based on some tests? Are they equal? Is fir worse for tar production than spruce or pine?
I was hoping for that kind info so this post can be used for further linkin' - otherwise, I could just ask my question in GLoSQ.

I will do it on some free-time, but if someone already did, I don't want to waste my time. If noone will provide a proper info, I'll share my results here.

Just tested,
2 blocks of Spruce = 0.29L
2 blocks of Fir = 0.09L

Will test more later and post results.

someone already did this and it's pine by a large margin

[Teleskop]

its common knowledge that pine is the best

[wafflecat]

Yep, Pine takes the cake with 0.49L for two blocks.

If you know anything about tar making you know that pine is the best wood.
But because im not a professional tar maker I thought it might be pine or spruce.
Turned out its pine.
Its common knowledge to know what tree yields most tar.
