small amounts of cardboard is fine to get your fire started but once the fire is burning properly you should only burn dry wood.
I do!
Cardboard is made like paper, but it burns a little differently. The holes in cardboard gives it a lot of oxegon. The oxegon helps it burn.
Cardboard ignition point is about 427 degrees C, once ignited cardboard will continue to burn at 258 deg. C.
No, i don't think so :-)
Poplar is the wood the wooden matches are made from. It burns VERY quickly, has a fairly low heat value, and produces few coals for lasting heat. It is not BAD to burn- just not really good. We burn it to dispose of it, or to use for kindling- I would not BUY poplar to burn.
The melting point of cardboard is typically around 150-180 degrees Celsius (300-350 degrees Fahrenheit). Beyond this temperature range, cardboard will begin to degrade and burn.
A woodstove should be at least 36 inches away from the nearest combustible wall to reduce the risk of fire. However, it's best to consult the manufacturer's guidelines for specific clearance recommendations based on the model of the woodstove.
Furnace, woodstove, heater
When cardboard is burned, it releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the air. The ash that remains after burning is mainly composed of carbon and some other mineral elements. It is not recommended to burn cardboard due to the air pollution it can cause.
You can burn your dishes, but only if they are paper (or cardboard) dishes. Ceramic dishes do not burn. Plastic dishes do burn, but will produce a noxious smoke. And if you do want to burn your dishes, burn them only in a properly constructed fireplace or fire pit, so that the fire remains controlled, and does not spread. Fire can be amazingly dangerous.
Damper , and using fewer logs
Paper burns faster as there is less mass to burn and less energy in paper, If it were wood, due to the mass of the wood it would burn Longer and brighter and less lengthened and less brighter for Cardboard.
