What is the best wood for burning in a fireplace?

Answer 1

Depending on what you are burning the wood for. Number one the wood must be seasoned (let dry for one or two seasons)
If it is in a fireplace just for show the poplar is OK as it does not burn hot. If you are using it for a heat source then birch is a good hard wood and will give you a longer burn.

Answer 2

seasoned oak,hickory,maple poplar and walnut. as my dad says as long as the piece fitts use it the bigger it is the longer it will burn and the hotter coals it will leave. try to avoid buying slabs at the sawmill if you can they burn fast because they are small but I think they would be good to help start a fire with not everyone is able to split wood.

Hardwood is the best,it burns clean. Softwoods will create soot in your chimney, and can cause a chimney fire.I use eucalyptus,but beware,that burns so hot ,I have to open the backdoor just to cool the room down.
