It goes without saying that a wood-burning stove can be used to burn wood (the clue is in the name). But what isn’t immediately apparent is that there are some woods that you shouldn’t burn on a woodburner. For a variety of reasons, there are woods that are best avoided when you are choosing the fuel for your stove. Here are some types of wood we would advise you not to burn on a woodburner. 🔥 Pine This one might come as a surprise given that it is readily available, but pine is not a good choice of fuel for a woodburner. Pine has a high resin content and, when burnt, that resin is going to seep out and clog up various parts of your stove system. 🔥 Larch Like pine, larch has high levels of resin and is liable to coat the inside of your stove and flue with sticky deposits. 🔥 Poplar Poplar gives off a thick, black smoke and burns poorly, so it doesn’t have a great deal going in its favour. 🔥 Laburnum Laburnum is poisonous, so you do not want its fumes getting in your home or your lungs. It produces a horrible smell when burnt, so please avoid. Those are the main woods that should be avoided for the well-being of you or your stove. Of course, any other poisonous woods are best avoided. Now, here are some woods that you shouldn’t burn if you have a choice simply because they are not very good. 🔥 Alder Alder burns quickly while producing very little heat, which is not what you want for a woodburner. 🔥 Chestnut All forms of chestnut are just okay burners, but they also tend to spit a lot. This can make them unpredictable when you open the stove door. 🔥 Cypress Cypress burns very quickly. 🔥 Spruce Spurce produces little heat but lots of smoke, and can spark and spit. 🔥 Willow Willow burns poorly and gives an unimpressive flame. A final rule of thumb: don’t burn softwoods if there are hardwoods available. Softwoods are less dense and so burn more quickly.

A wood-burning stove (or wood burner or log burner in the UK) is a heating appliance capable of burning wood fuel. Generally the appliance consists of a solid metal (usually cast iron or steel) closed firebox, lined by fire brick, and one or more air controls (which can be manually or automatically operated depending upon the stove). The first wood-burning stove was patented in Strasbourg in 1557, two centuries before the Industrial Revolution, which would make iron an inexpensive and common material, so such stoves were high end consumer items and only gradually spread in use. The stove is connected by ventilating stove pipe to a suitable flue, which will fill with hot combustion gases once the fuel is ignited. The chimney or flue gases must be hotter than the outside temperature which will ensure combustion gases are drawn out of the fire chamber and up the chimney 🔥
