What's the best kind of wood for my fireplace in Clovis?
For a good, consistent burn in your Clovis fireplace, seasoned hardwood is best. Think oak, maple, or almond wood. These burn longer and hotter than softwoods like pine. Always make sure your wood is dry, or 'seasoned,' for at least six months. Wet wood smokes more and produces less heat. It can also leave creosote buildup in your chimney, which is a fire hazard.
