That would be dangerous, but yeah try it. A fireplace would be better.



If it is dry, there is not reason why not. I hope you are not referring to the foliage, just the stem and trunk.

That is one of the few woods that may NOT be a good idea to burn in quantity. They contain a natural toxin, known as Grayanotoxin. It has a potential to cause health problems, including hallucinations. I know of no actual cases of harm caused by burning the wood- it is usually from honey derived from the flowers- but I think I would pass on it.

Is rhododendron a good wood to burn in a fireplace?

ANSWER:Live rhodendron contains gryanotoxin, which is poisonous if ingested. When burned the gryanotoxin is destroyed at temperatures of 300 degres and above, and no evidence of toxicity has been found in the smoke or coals of the rhododendron plant. It is a hard long-burning wood and can be used safely. However, inhalation of any smoke from a fire can have harmful health effects and should generally be avoided.When burning wood in a fireplace always be sure to have a proper draft; no smoke or vapors from the burning wood should be entering the living area.
