What not to do

You should never burn treated or painted timber in your burners of fireplaces as toxins will be released into your home and outside. Through burning these toxins could cause serious illness to you, your family and others in close proximity to your house.

Green Wood is often sold cheaply and conveniently by many retailers and once you burn it you will certainly notice the difference in the quality of your fire. Green wood holds excess moisture as it hasn’t had the time to dry out, when burnt the concentration of heat is focused on boiling out the excess water detracting from the heat output into your home. Green wood will also leave excess soot and sap in your flue or chimney increasing the need for cleaning.
