Question:

After the holidays, can I burn my Christmas tree in the fireplace?

Answer:

Don’t burn your Christmas tree in a fireplace or wood stove.  Dry, evergreen branches literally explode when burned and could cause a house fire.  Also, burning the tree may contribute to the buildup of creosote and lead to a flue fire.
