The Piñon pine tree is a species of pine tree that is native to the southwestern United States, and to Mexico (it is also commonly spelled pinon, pinion, or pinyon). The pinon pine tree produces a wood known as pinon wood that, when burned, releases a delightful fragrance unique to this species of tree.
Pinon wood is a common firewood used in chimineas, and fire pits, as it has a set of properties that make it especially suited for burning in these units, primarily its wonderful scent and its bug-repellent capabilities. [Read more…] about Pinon Wood, The Best Firewood for Chimineas.
