The warmth, coziness, and nostalgic feelings are difficult to achieve with any other heating source. However, our team at Hunt Stone & Fireplace is ready to help you achieve this comforting feeling in your East Texas home.
The warm atmosphere that open wood-burning fireplaces provide is one of the main draws for homeowners. A room feels cozy and welcoming when the soft glow of the fire, the dance of the flames, and the soothing warmth come together. This atmosphere is ideal for relaxing after a hard day, spending time with family members, or just curling up with a good book and a hot drink. Additionally, open wood-burning fireplaces give you a soothing connection to nature.
Beyond the coziness of open wood-burning fireplaces, you’ll also feel good about using your fireplace, as wood offers a green heating solution.

FAQs About Open Wood-Burning Fireplaces
Open wood-burning fireplaces invoke nostalgia while adding warmth and charm to any home. They are known for their ageless elegance and make excellent centerpieces for family gatherings and pleasant evenings. However, to fully enjoy them, you’ll need to understand how they work and what is needed to maintain them. At Hunt Stone & Fireplace, we often get questions about open wood-burning fireplaces. Those questions—and answers—can be found below.

Of course. We will work with you to determine the best match for your home, ensuring it meets your needs. Plus, our support continues long after the sale, giving you peace of mind that you’ll be able to continue enjoying your fireplace for years to come.
What kinds of wood are ideal for burning in an open fireplace?
Hardwoods such as oak, maple, and hickory are great since they burn longer and generate more heat. Softwoods, such as pine, are less efficient and produce more creosote, which accumulates in the chimney.
How do I stay safe while using an open fireplace?
Having your chimney cleaned on a regular basis minimizes creosote development. Additionally, using a fire screen helps to keep sparks contained. Finally, it’s important not to leave the fire unattended and to keep any flammable objects away from the fireplace.
Are open wood-burning fireplaces eco-friendly?
Wood is considered a green heating solution because the amount of carbon dioxide released after combustion is equal to the amount absorbed by the tree during its growth. As a result, burning wood is a carbon-neutral process and considered to be more environmentally friendly than many other heating options.
