What type of wood burns best in a fireplace?
For optimal burning in your wood fireplace, it's best to use seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, or apple wood. These woods have been dried for at least six months, which reduces their moisture content and allows them to burn hotter and cleaner with less smoke. Avoid using green or treated wood, as it can create excessive creosote and potentially damage your chimney. Properly seasoned wood is key. We can help you assess your needs.
