Frequently asked in New Haven
What's the deal with burning specific types of wood in my New Haven fireplace?
Hardwoods like oak or maple are generally best because they burn longer and hotter, providing more efficient heat. Avoid softwoods like pine, as they tend to produce more creosote, which can be a fire hazard in your chimney. Always ensure wood is seasoned, meaning it's dried for at least six months, before burning it. This reduces moisture content for a cleaner, more effective burn.
