North Dakota: NEVER Throw These Items In Your Fireplace

North Dakota is a tough place to be in the winter. Bone-chilling temps, icy roads, strong winds, tons of snow...you never know what you're going to get, but there's one thing that makes these cold days a little better: warm cozy fireplaces.

There's nothing quite like curling up next to a crackling fire, sipping a warm cup of coffee, with your fuzzy holiday socks on and a holiday classic playing on the TV. Sounds like the perfect way to get lulled into a nice long nap. Before you start lighting up your fireplaces, you should keep in mind that there are a few things you really shouldn't throw in the fire.

Things You Should Never Burn In Your Fireplace

Obviously, there are a ton of other things you shouldn't throw in the fireplace, but those are just a few things you might've been surprised about.

If you're unsure whether you should burn something in your fireplace, the answer is probably "no," so err on the side of caution and toss it in the recycling bin or trash instead.

Pat yourself on the back if you've managed to keep Usher's song, "Burn," out of your head while reading this. I was unsuccessful on that front.

Anyway, I hope this was helpful. Be safe and make careful decisions before throwing anything other than firewood in your fireplace.

Thanks for reading, try to stay warm this winter, and happy holidays.
