What to burn on a wood burning stove
You should be careful about what wood you burn on your wood burning stove
as you may shorten its life if you burn the wrong things.
Enormous quantities of waste wood from demolition sites, timber yards,
packaging and scrap furniture are landfilled each year.
General advice is to buy seasoned logs that are 2 years old - they'll
be very dry and good for burning cleanly. Burning wet wood creates less
heat as heat is actually used in turning the water in the wood to steam.
The resulting steam and smoke can make sticky tars which can be damaging
to the flue.
If you can get hold of pallets then apparently these burn well.
Never burn painted, plastic or melamine coated wood, chipboard or MDF
- these give off toxic fumes.
You can only burn coal on a proper coal grate in a suitable multifuel
stove.
Can I burn any wood in my stove? If it isn't painted or covered in plastic
then yes probably.
