Is it legal to burn paper mail in your fireplace?

Yes, you can burn paper mail in your fireplace. We recommend that you have a cap on your chimney so that the paper doesn’t float out and carry an ember onto some dry grass, other vegetation, or your roof. Also, watch the quantity that you burn as chimney fires have been known to happen if you burn too much, too hot, too fast.
