What is another word for firewood?

Pronunciation: [fˈa͡ɪ͡əwʊd] (IPA)

Firewood is an essential element for enjoying a warm fire in your home or campsite. However, it is not the only word that describes the fuel for your fireplace or firepit. Alternative synonyms include kindling, logs, lumber, timber, firelogs, and even faggot. Kindling is small sticks used to ignite a fire. Logs and lumber refer to a larger piece of wood used for longer-lasting flames. Timber is often used in outdoor fire pits and camping sites. Firelogs are made from compressed sawdust and create a more efficient burn time. Faggots are bundled twigs, tied together with string, and used to light fires, especially in traditional British fireplaces. Whatever your preferred term, it's important to know the difference to ensure you have the right type and quantity of wood to keep your fire going strong.
