Jeremy’s expertise sheds light on the subtle art of firewood selection and preparation, providing invaluable advice for both new and seasoned fireplace users.
🔥 What Is the Best Type of Wood to Burn in My Fireplace? 🔥
Not all firewood is created equal! If you want a warm, efficient, and clean-burning fire this winter, choose hardwoods over softwoods. Here’s why:
🌳 Top Choices:
Oak – Long burn time & great heat
Hickory – High heat output & pleasant aroma
Maple – Burns clean with steady flames
Ash – Easy to split and burns well even when not fully seasoned
Avoid softwoods like pine — they burn fast, smoky, and can cause creosote buildup in your chimney. 🚫
🪵 Pro Tip: Always burn seasoned (dry) wood for best results!
