It is one of the easiest woods to split both dry and wet, and it has an advanced seasoning time. Juniper is one of the most sustainable woods available, making it a good choice for firewood.

Is it OK to burn juniper?

Juniper is a quick-burning wood. This makes it easy to light, but you'll need more wood to keep your fire burning for the same amount of time as a hardwood fire. Coals produced by juniper firewood don't last long. If you don't keep a watchful eye on restocking the fire, you may find yourself with nothing but cold ash.

Is juniper wood good for anything?

It's a natural insecticide, and is highly rot-resistant. It has the performance of pressure-treated wood without the chemicals, and it is cost-comparative with both redwood and cedar and lasts longer than both. All in all, juniper is perfect for a retaining wall, garden box, fencing, decking, or siding.
