hardwood
Hardwoods such as oak, walnut, beech, and birch are high-quality choices. These woods have high density and low moisture content, which can provide long-lasting combustion, while also having bright flames and strong ornamental value
For example, oak is one of the densest and most energetic woods, producing a stable high-temperature fire when burned, and is the "gold standard" for wood burning fireplaces
Fruit tree
Fruit trees such as maple, cherry, apricot, and apple trees are also suitable for burning in fireplaces. These woods burn well and are suitable for heatingonecork
Cork such as ash wood, fir, pine, and cedar are also good choices. The moisture content and heat generation of white wax wood are both very suitable for fireplace combustion, and the combustion time is relatively long
three
Although fir, pine, and cedar produce more smoke and creosote, they are suitable as ignition sources
Other recommended woods
In addition, fine wood such as twigs and leaves are suitable for ignition and lighting because they burn quickly and are highly flammable
Not recommended wood
Wood that is not suitable for burning in a wood burning fireplace includes pine, cypress, peach, and spruce trees, as these woods contain a large amount of resin and produce a large amount of smoke and creosote when burned, which is harmful to the environment and human healthy
In addition, damp or rotten wood, due to its high moisture content and low thermal efficiency, produces a lot of smoke and wood tar during combustion, posing a fire hazard
