Is Sycamore Good Indoor Firewood?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDespite the heat that sycamore can produce, it is more suited as ambient firewood than a source of heat. Though it can be used throughout the entire winter season, it is considered to be a good shoulder wood for cold autumn and spring months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, sycamore can be used as a fire starter and is safer due to the lack of sparks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What does BTU stand for?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBTU is an acronym for British thermal unit which measures how much energy wood produces when burnt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I only use seasoned firewood for burning?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nSimply put, the better seasoned your firewood is, the better it will burn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More time drying time for your wood will reduce the amount of smoke produced when it is burnt and will allow the fire to burn for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t use unseasoned firewood. Just that the fire will be less effective and with more smoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Conclusion<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nSycamore firewood is an effective firestarter but is not the best choice for a long-term heat source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Its long seasoning time means that you should stock up a few years in advance. But once the wood is ready to use, you can get a fire going in no time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Between various BTU ratings and the build-up of sticky, tarry creosote, it can be hard to figure out what firewood to use. The most important thing is to know how long that firewood will burn and how efficient it will be as a heat source. Let’s take a look at whether Sycamore is a good […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":707,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=706"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1445,"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/706\/revisions\/1445"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=706"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=706"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theyardable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=706"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
