For wood appliances:
• Lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods
or too green or freshly cut hardwoods. Burning wet unseasoned wood can cause excessive creosote
accumulation. When this is ignited it can cause a chimney fi re that may result in a serious house fi re.

waste, rubber, waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners / solvents, plastic, materials containing
asbestos, construction debris, railroad ties or treated wood, manure or animal remains, salt water driftwood
or salted materials, unseasoned wood, coal, charcoal, coloured paper, gift wrapping, cardboard, plywood or
