What sort of wood is this? (Burning in fireplace)

[Jon Stewart]

I wouldn't burn pine because of the creosote and I wouldn't burn osage orange because it burns very hot.

Old railroad ties and wooden electrical poles tend to get a little smokey

Get some hedge. Very hot.

Is that horse apple tree ?
A guy down the road has horse apples

Our wood stove lists elm as the #1 wood not to burn because of the buildup in the pipe. #1 and #2 to burn is oak and mesquite in that order.

That is what we burned growing up in Missouri never heard anybody in Texas call it hedge. It burns very hot but also pops a lot.

In Oklahoma we called it hedge. I believe it has the highest BTU’s. It does pop pretty bad. But it will crank out the heat.

Giant thorns

[cactusassjohn]

stay away from burning cottonwood and pine,also treated wood lumber

[Hogmauler]

Long as it’s hardwood I think it’s ok.

Um, I burn alot of hackberry. When its seasoned well and really dry it burns hot. A lil stinky if not fully seasoned. Lol

Sorry, but it is stinky when seasoned as well. Burns good, stinks bad. Only used in the outdoor fireplace here, and only when it is all that I have.

Contrary to popular belief you can burn pine in a fireplace.
