The type of wood you use is also important. Make sure to use clean, seasoned wood that has been stacked and seasoned properly to increase the moisture content of the wood and to prevent it from releasing harmful gases as it burns. Unseasoned wood can produce dense black smoke, which is an indication that the wood isn't burning correctly, and it could also contain harmful insect larvae, sap, or fungus.
