Except for petrified wood (wood that has turned to stone) all wood will burn. Some burns easier than others, some gives off more heat, and some woods are poisonous, and should not be burned- but all wood is capable of burning.

What will burn first wood or plastic?
Under normal circumstances, wood will burn first because it has a lower temperature of combustion than metal. That means a stick will catch fire and burn faster than a piece of steel pipe the same size. In fact, under those normal circumstances mentioned, the stick will burn and be reduced to ash while the steel pipe will not be affected. Many times structures will burn and the steel water pipes will be left only blackened after all the wood has been consumed by the blaze.

What happens when you burn fresh cut wood in your fireplace?
Wet wood does not burn well. Freshly cut "green" (live) wood can be up to 80 percent water. This water has to be converted to steam and leave the wood before it can burn. While this is happening, the temperature that the wet wood can reach is limited to less than 300 degrees Fahrenheit, dramatically lowering the heat produced by the primary burn. Additionally, the rising steam can significantly extinguish the secondary burn occurring above. Always dry your wood by seasoning it before burning. It usually takes at least six months to dry wood to the desired 20% moisture content for burning, but can often take 12 months or more.
