While you CAN burn any wood (except petrified wood, which is now stone) the best wood for heating purposes will be dry hardwords, such as oak, ash, hickory, apple, etc. Softwood, such as pine, fir, cedar, has relatively low heat value (you burn a lot for a little heat) and produces a lot of creosote (coats inside of chimney, fire hazard if not cleaned, etc) TREATED lumber (used for decks, docks, landscaping, etc) has been treated with chemicals that may include chrome, copper, arsenic- and are a health hazard if the smoke is breathed- don't burn those. See the link at the bottom of this page for a guide to firewood. PS- dry means cut, split, stacked, and air dried for 6 months to a year.
