What are the things you should never burn in your fireplace? Naturally, plastics would be at the top of the list, but the other materials might surprise you.
What Not to Burn
What to Use
You should only burn seasoned wood in your fireplace. The process of seasoning removes the moisture content of regular wood, lessening the amount of smoke produced and making the combustion more uniform. Keep in mind that creosote builds in your chimney over time, so it’s important to have an experienced chimney sweep routinely clean it.
