What is wood for a wood burning fireplace?
For optimal performance in a League City wood burning fireplace, seasoned hardwoods are the best choice. Woods like oak, maple, ash, and hickory are dense and burn longer, providing consistent heat and producing less creosote compared to softwoods. It is critical that the wood is properly seasoned, meaning it has been dried for at least six to twelve months to reduce its moisture content below 20%.
