Would you burn juniper wood in a fireplace?


Keep your chimney clean... In the southwest, you burn juniper because
there isn't much else worth burning. Up here we burn pine, fir, and
larch, again because there isn't much else. People in the east with
hardwood coming out their ears sneer but you use what you've got.

Season it well and don't close the damper. Or, if you've got a source
of better firewood, keep it for sitting around a fire in the back
yard.


I'm one of those lucky ones ... we've got 12 acres of oak and other
hardwoods . But I don't sneer , I grew up in Utahahaha where pine is the
predominant fire wood .
