🔥 What 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!
