What kind of wood is best for burning in my fireplace?
Choosing the right wood for your New Braunfels fireplace makes a big difference in how well it burns and how much heat it produces. Hardwoods like oak, hickory, and maple are generally recommended because they burn longer and hotter than softwoods. Softwoods such as pine and fir can burn quickly and may produce more creosote, which can build up in your chimney. The pros can advise you on the best local wood sources and proper seasoning techniques for optimal burning.
