These woods burn longer and hotter, providing more consistent heat and less creosote buildup compared to softwoods. Always ensure the wood is dry, meaning it has been seasoned for at least six months to a year. This ensures a cleaner burn and better performance from your fireplace, especially during our cold winters.
