Am I not burning the wood correctly or sold crappy wood?

I'm curious. Reading the original post:

"mixed hardwood blend of oak, maple, beech, birch, cherry and ash available in bulk or bundled form."

I've never used Beech or Birch for BBQ. Are those normally used?

I use beech often, it's really common where I live...it's similar to oak but a tad milder...birch and alder are I the same family, very commonly used for smoking fish.
