I would point you to a thread in which I contributed some vague but mildly helpful information about burn times: [Which Fire source burns the longest?](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/which-fire-source-burns-the-longest/16150)

And I’d point you at a more comprehensive thread from Pyrite: [Zombie Science: How long does stuff burn?](https://discourse.cataclysmdda.org/t/zombie-science-how-long-does-stuff-burn/16753/7)

Those were from August and September, respectively, but I don’t think fire has changed since then.

For my money, deconstructing furniture for a bunch of 2x4s usually does the trick. Otherwise I just bash baby trees. The ratio of keypresses/time invested versus burn time is more than acceptable.
