Evergreens aren't considered a good firewood because they can cause a severe
flammable build up in your chimney- can make things right exciting ;-) The
reason I said a temperate zone forest is because they tend to have a high
proportion of hardwoods- oak, hickory, and so forth, which are ideal woods
for burning in a fireplace- not only are they low on sap and such, but they
also burn slowly. Soft woods CAN be used, but they require a lot of
maintenance. They're more appropriate for out door bonfires and the like,
where there's no chimney to gum up, or food to infuse with a turpentine
flavor.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.
