Can redwood be burned as firewood?

Best Answers

Hardwoods burn slower and are harder to start, so Redwood is a good way to start your fire. Of course, if you have a lot of redwood on hand, by all means, burn it. (Provided local regulations and fire codes permit wood fires). Make sure it is not treated or finished, as the finish may be toxic when burned and inhaled. read more

But if the price is right, or free, redwood firewood is worth burning. It is good for starting fires or when you only need a short burn. If you have redwood logs of any size, it may be worth more for lumber or the many other uses for redwood than it would be as firewood. read more
