Can pittosporum shrub wood be burned in a home fireplace?

Pittosporum wood can technically be burned in a home fireplace, but it's not commonly recommended. The wood tends to produce a lot of smoke and can create creosote buildup in the chimney, which increases the risk of a chimney fire. Additionally, it is relatively soft and may not burn as efficiently as hardwoods. For the best results and safety, it's advisable to use well-seasoned hardwoods for fireplace burning.
