Is sweetgum wood good for firewood?
Sweetgum wood can be used for firewood, but it is not the most desirable option. It burns relatively quickly and produces a moderate amount of heat, but it tends to create more smoke and sparks than hardwoods like oak or hickory. Additionally, sweetgum can produce a lot of ash, which may require more frequent cleaning of the fireplace or stove. Overall, while it can work in a pinch, other hardwoods are generally preferred for firewood.
