Wood that is damp tends to spark alot.
I have burned wood to heat my house for years, and am very familiar with wood types, and I have not found that answer to be correct. Certain types of wood just spark a lot, I don't know why. Hedge is the hottest burning wood I know of and is also the worst offender in the spark category. It seems that any yellow colored wood is a bad sparker, such as hedge (aka osage orange) and black locust and mulberry. They spark a lot, burn hot, and are yellow colored wood. The best overall wood is white oak, as it splits fairly easy, and burns really hot, but not too hot like hedge (it will melt your grates) has almost no sparks and lasts a long time.

You probably scream a lot.
Plywood is typically made from pine products (and glue) that really can be bad for your fireplace. The tar builds up and can lead to what is called a "flue" fire. Flue fires have been responsible for starting fires and burning homes.
Wood Stoves are not designed to burn wood all the efficiently and the coals you see are normal. There really isn't a lot you can do to improve the burning efficiency of your wood stove. If the stove is heating properly and you have a small amount of unburned charcoal, you are doing everything fine.
Locust wood is excellent firewood due to its high density and slow-burning properties. It produces a lot of heat energy and burns for a long time with little sparking or popping. However, it can be challenging to split due to its density, so ensure you have the proper tools for handling locust wood.
Johnny is in critical condition in the hospital with horrible burns on his body and he broke his back after a large burning timber fell on him while he was saving some kids in a burning church. He says he can't feel anything from the waist down. He broke his back after the piece of wood in the burning hit him. After the wood fell on him, he fell to the ground and got serious burns everywhere but mostly his neck and helost a lot of oxygen and blood and he was very close to dying.
Yes it does. Back when Brazil was a Portuguese colony, a big industry for the Portuguese was the extration of wood. Portugal won a lot of money with this extrative industry. Not any kind of wood though. In Brazil we have a typical wood that is red/yelow, looks like it's on fire. Just like burning coal. There is a name in Portuguese for "burning coal" that is "brasa". So, burning coal is "brasa". "Brasa" is a noun, the adjective for "like burning coal" is "brasil". Therefore the wood that was abundant here was named "Pau-Brasil" or Brazilwood (as there is no word in english for "LikeBurningCoal-Wood", or something like that...lol...). Brazilwood was very popular and used in europe, so the word was that a "Brazil land" was discovered.
Pine burns easily, but quickly. It can be good to get a fire started. It generates a lot of creosote, and the chimney will need cleaning more often.
Probably a lot like burning plastic.
Burning charcoal indoors can release carbon monoxide and other harmful gases that can be dangerous to your health. Additionally, charcoal burning produces a lot of soot and can create a fire hazard if not properly ventilated. It is safer to use a proper heating system designed for indoor use.
Oak, ash, black locust, osage orange. Hickory is good but pops a lot. Poplar, cottonwood and any evergreen will burn VERY fast.
They used wood for totem poles, utensils, longhouses, and canoes. They needed a lot of wood to build these items.
Camellia wood is not commonly used as firewood, primarily because it is dense and can produce a lot of smoke when burned. While it can generate heat, its high resin content may lead to creosote buildup in chimneys, posing a fire hazard. It's generally better to use seasoned hardwoods like oak or maple for fireplace burning. If you do burn Camellia wood, ensure it's properly seasoned and monitor your chimney for any buildup.
