Though the camphor laurel is a nusicance (or worse) in a number of areas, it's smoke is toxic and it can leave a most unpleasant coating on the inside of your chimney. It probably isn't a good idea to burn this stuff. It's nasty. All the "stuff" in the laurel that allows the production of camphor from its leaves has to get up there, and the trunk (the part you're burning) has a good store of it in the wood. If it isn't against air quality standards in your area to burn the camphor laurel as firewood, it may very well be soon. Heck, they don't even burn it to eradicate it for the most part because of the environmental effects due to the smoke.

The Benefits of Having a Wood Burning Fireplace in Your Home?
There is nothing quite like cozying up with your family and loved ones around a gently burning fire in a wood burning fireplace to take your mind off of a long, cold winter. Families have gathered around a hearth fire since the earliest days of civilization, and keeping the home fires burning was an important part of the modern family home until the late 20th century. Although the warmth of the family hearth fire has largely been replaced during recent generations by the blue glow of the family television, there are still many individuals and families that prefer the reassuring company of having a functioning wood burning fireplace in their home. In addition to providing an excellent gathering place for everyone in your household during the colder months of the year, a wood burning fireplace is also a great way to cut down on your heating expenses. Depending on the type of wood burning fireplace that you happen to have in your home, your fireplace might be able to produce an incredible amount of heat. Instead of heating your entire home at all times throughout the winter, many people who have a wood burning fireplace simply keep a good fire going during most of the day and night and only turn on the heat when they need their entire home warm. Having a wood burning stove installed to work with your fireplace can help your hearth fire generate even more heat. Depending on where your home is located, a functional wood burning fireplace can actually add a fair amount of commercial value to your real estate. While most people who have relocated to new parts of the country to retire probably would prefer not to have to deal with a wood burning fireplace as they prepare to enter their autumn years. However, having a working wood burning fireplace is considered a serious luxury in urban townhouses, duplexes and apartments, especially amongst young singles. In the suburbs, many families prefer to have a wood burning fireplace in their home even if they do not need one just so that they can pass some of their childhood memories onto their own children.
