BURN SMART Part 1

Burn efficiently.

Good firewood is a must.

• Buy locally sourced firewood.
• Season your firewood for at least 6 months – moisture content should be less than 20%.
• Store your firewood properly – outdoors and off the ground with the top covered.
• Never burn anything in your appliance other than good firewood and dry kindling, newspaper or all-natural firestarters.

Do not burn:

• Household trash, including cardboard, plastics, foam and the colored ink on magazines, boxes, and wrappers
• Coated, painted, and pressure-treated wood
• Ocean driftwood, plywood, particle board, or any wood with glue on or in it
• Wet, rotted, diseased, or moldy wood
• Plastic, asbestos, rubber, manure and animal remains
