Yes driftwood will burn if it's dry. Will produce pretty colours because of the chemicals added by the sea. However the salt content (in conjunction with heat) can cause problems with metal. It's safest to burn your driftwood on the beach - if allowed. Not a good idea to use lots of it in your metal wood burner or if you have a metal parts to your chimney. Caution! Dioxin is produced when salt water driftwood is burned. It's the byproduct of burning wood and sodium chloride (salt). Dioxin is a persistent toxin, doesn't biodegrade, rather it accumulates in the tissue of any animal that digests it.

This is because there is salt on the driftwood which has been absorbed when the wood is floating around salty water. When salt is put in a flame, it burns green.
