Firewood is a renewable energy source that has been used for centuries to provide heat and light, and is usually made from dead trees, branches, and other woody material that have been chopped into small pieces, and are be burned in fireplaces, wood stoves, or outdoor fire pits to generate heat and light and are be used as fuel for cooking and heating water. Burning firewood produces carbon dioxide emissions which contribute to global warming; however, it is considered a renewable energy source because new trees can be planted to replace the ones harvested for firewood. Burning firewood efficiently requires proper storage of the wood so it does not become damp or moldy before use. Properly seasoned firewood will burn more efficiently than green wood and produce less smoke when burned.
