It can be difficult to know what not to burn in your stove. It might seem like anything that burns should be able to go right in, as the smoke and fumes go right up the chimney.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, not all types of fuel are suitable for use in a wood burner as some items can be a fire hazard or release a cocktail of toxic fumes into your home and surrounding area.<\/p>\n

According to Direct Stoves, burning the \u201cwrong type\u201d can lead to \u201cpoor stove performance, expensive maintenance costs, and even dangerous situations\u201d. Luckily, the experts have shared what should be avoided.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. Treated or painted wood<\/h3>\n

The log burner experts urged: \u201cNever burn treated or painted wood in your wood-burning stove.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This type of wood is often \u201claden with chemicals\u201d that can \u201charm your health and the environment\u201d when burned.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

These chemicals can release toxic fumes and create a dangerous atmosphere in your home, especially for children, older people, and people with existing respiratory conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Treated or painted wood can also \u201cdamage the stove\u201d.\u00a0Not only does this increase the risk of problems in the future, but it can also lead to higher maintenance costs and reduced efficiency.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Paper and cardboard\u00a0<\/h3>\n

While paper or cardboard can be used to help get a fire going while lighting it, it\u2019s\u00a0not recommended to burn it as a primary fuel in the stove.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The experts instead recommend using a \u201cnatural firelighter\u201d instead and saving paper and cardboard for recycling.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
