Can you Burn Osage Orange in the Fireplace?

Answer 1

Answer Yes. And it gives off a lovely smell, too.

Answer Olive wood is a very hard, condensed wood. It is very hard to catch alight, but once it burns, it does so for a long time and gives off a lot of heat.

Answer 2

Oak is a dense wood that burns nicely and puts off lots of heat. It should be dry (generally 1 year) after cutting and not green (freshly cut). Be aware that if oak wilt was the reason the try was cut, it can spread by even having the wood on your property. Burning the wood supposedly is Ok, but it is while storing the cut wood that the spores from the oak wilt disease will spread to other oak trees.

Answer 3

You need to have it inspected first by a licensed contractor or chimney sweep.

In many cases the gas assembly was added to a wood burning fireplace, and if so, it's fine to go back to wood but the gas logs and piping must be removed first, and the chimney inspected to make sure it's clean and clear to allow the smoke to draft out or you could be in risk of fire or asphyxiation.

Answer 4

NO! It burns as hot as coal, but it throws sparks all over the place making it a fire hazard to both home and campsites. It is only to be used in a controlled environment, like a kiln or smelter.

Answer 5

Yes, wood will burn anywhere where is enough oxygen and enough heat.

If you shovel the wood in an electric heated oven the wood does not lit automatically, because the 300 degrees celcius an electric oven can generate is not sufficient to set the wood on fire.

But if there is a piece of paper or bark, it is possible that lits up and sets the wood on fire too. But if you lit the wood in the electric oven, propability is you will burn your house down along with the wood.

But I highly recommend you use an oven that is meant to be heated with wood.

Answer 6

No- not designed for the heat of a wood fire.

Answer 7

yes
