WHAT TYPE OF WOOD SHOULD NOT BE BURNT AS FIREWOOD?
People often assume that any wood can be used for burning as firewood. However, this is not correct, and several types of wood must be avoided.
PAINTED AND COATED WOOD
When searching for top-quality firewood, avoid painted and coated wood completely. You should also avoid pressure-treated wood, as it can release more toxins and harmful chemicals into the air. Similarly, engineered sheets like particle boards, plywood, MDF, etc., should not be used as firewood.

BIGGER PIECES OF FIREWOOD IN HILLTOP
While purchasing high-quality firewood, you must not choose bigger pieces of wood that will not fit in your fireplace or fire pit. This involves avoiding bigger and longer pieces, as they will not fit into your fireplace, and in this regard, vendors recommend choosing firewood in Hill Top that is less than 5 inches in diameter. Any firewood thicker than this means your hard work will increase, as you will have to split them into smaller pieces to fit into your store or fire pit.

NON-LOCAL WOOD
Another thing to avoid while purchasing firewood in Hill Top is the non-local wood offered to you. This means before purchasing, you must ask the seller where the wood came from. If it was cut or stored more than a few miles away, it's better to avoid it and rely upon local suppliers for good-quality firewood.
DRIFTWOOD
You should also avoid salt-saturated driftwood while searching for firewood in Hill Top. Environment protection agencies add that salt-saturated driftwood can release toxic and harmful chemicals. It's better to avoid burning them and instead use them for furniture and decor.
GREEN OR WET WOOD
A completely seasoned wood is ideal firewood in Hill Top. Green or wet wood does not qualify as firewood, as both cause a lot of smoke and build-up of creosote.
Similarly, poisonous wood should be avoided, as the smoke from them can cause lung irritation and several respiratory issues. Vendors also recommend avoiding oleander and wood from endangered species of trees. Christmas trees should also be avoided, followed by wooden pallets that should not be burned.
