🔥 Types of Firewood to Use in Your Fireplace 🔥
Choosing the right firewood is key to keeping your chimney in great shape and your home warm and cozy.🏡 Here’s a quick guide to help you make the best choice:
🌳 Hardwoods (like oak, maple, and birch):
◾ Burn longer and hotter
◾ Produce less creosote buildup
◾ Ideal for long, sustained fires
🌲 Softwoods (like pine and spruce):
◾ Ignite quickly
◾ Great for kindling and shorter fires
◾ Best used with hardwoods for a balanced burn
Remember, always use seasoned firewood that’s been dried for at least six months to reduce smoke and creosote buildup. Avoid burning treated or painted wood as it can release harmful chemicals.
