Birch is much better because the bark has oils in it that is a natural firestarter
It also burns longer than spruce
quite good to burn indeed!
Yellow or Black Birch is very good firewood, high heat value, slow burn. White or Gray Birch is average- better than some, not as good as some.
It is better to burn only untreated hardwoods (pine, oak, mesquite) in your fireplace. Others leave residues or release unwanted chemicals.
no, you'd better not, it may be harmful to you and your family!!
Dry birch would be better. With any wet wood, you will be using some of the heat value to drive off and evaporate the water. Birch is sort of an average firewood- better than some, worse than some.
Spruce will make great kindling- to light the fire. However, it will burn very quickly, produce few coals for long lasting heat, and produces a lot of creosote that will need to be cleaned from your chimney. It would be a good idea to keep a little dry spruce for kindling, but find a good hardwood such as oak, ash, or hickory for your main fuel wood
No, burning a magnolia tree in a fireplace is not recommended as it can release harmful chemicals into the air. It is better to use seasoned firewood that is specifically meant for fireplace use to ensure a safe and efficient fire.
white birch is burnable. anonymous
Yes you can! Maple is one of the better fire woods to burn. Just make sure it's dry & not green wood.
No, it is not safe to burn wood in a gas fireplace with a chimney designed for gas.
The denser woods like oak or maple will release a lot of heat and last a long time. Typically you want to use hardwoods. Softwood trees like pine or spruce burn much faster and won't leave a nice coal bed. It is also important to remember to use dry firewood.
Yes it just does not burn well because its a rubbery plant, the denser the fire wood the better for fires generally
