Using the right wood is the easiest way to keep your fireplace running cleanly. Always aim for seasoned hardwood, such as oak, maple, or ash, which has been dried for at least a year. Avoid burning softwoods or unseasoned wood, as these create excess creosote buildup in your chimney. You need to ensure your wood has a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, to get the most heat output and keep your glass doors clear of soot.
