Proper Burning Tips

Why Proper Burning Matters

Using the wrong materials or burning at too low a temperature leads to creosote — the most common cause of chimney fires.

What to Burn

Dry, seasoned hardwood

Split logs stored for at least 6 months

Small kindling to start fires

What NOT to Burn

Pine or softwoods

Wet or unseasoned wood

Cardboard or glossy magazines

Wax-coated papers

Pressure-treated lumber

 

These burn too cool and create dangerous creosote deposits.

Reducing Creosote Buildup

Keep fires hot

Using creosote sweeping logs

Maintain steady airflow

Avoid smoldering, smoky fires

Get annual chimney cleanings

Seasonal Burning Tips

Winter: Keep wood dry and stacked off the ground.


Fall: Start with small, hot fires.


Spring: Schedule your cleaning before humidity sets in.
