Cumaru wood, known for its density and high energy content, can burn for a considerable amount of time, often around 2 to 3 hours, depending on factors like the size of the logs and the specific conditions of the fire. Its slow-burning properties make it an excellent choice for fireplaces and wood stoves. Additionally, when properly seasoned, it produces a steady heat output and minimal smoke.
All wood besides Lignum Vitae, Ipe/Brazilian Walnut/Lapacho, Cumaru/Brazilian Teak, Ebony, Brazilian Redwood/Paraju, Angelim Pedra, and Bloodwood are below 1 g/cm3.

Yes, you can burn yucca wood, which is known for its high heat output and low smoke production. However, it is essential to ensure that the wood is properly seasoned, as green or wet wood can produce excessive smoke and creosote buildup. Additionally, yucca wood tends to be dense and can burn slowly, making it suitable for long-lasting fires. Always check local regulations regarding burning wood to ensure compliance with any restrictions.

As having burned wood for heat during the last several winters I have experienced burning of the wood from a Horse chestnut tree. I had half of one go down in my yard, and the following heating season, I burned the wood from that tree. It has a very pleasant aroma, which is kind of difficult to surmise, but one can get a sense of nostalgia from it. It heats and burns relatively long, but does not burn as long as a hard oak. I would still recommend someone burn Horse Chestnut, if they desired a good, long-lasting, great smelling hard wood to burn, this would be an ideal candidate!
