Frequently asked in Richardson

What are the most efficient wood-burning fireplace inserts available?
What is the best wood for burning in my fireplace?
The best wood for burning in your fireplace is seasoned hardwood, such as oak, pecan, or mesquite, which are common in Texas. These woods burn hot and long, producing less creosote buildup than softwoods. It's crucial that the wood is properly dried, or 'seasoned,' for at least six months to a year before burning. Burning unseasoned wood is inefficient and can lead to chimney fires. Always prioritize dry, seasoned hardwoods for optimal performance.
