One of the benefits of having just barely enough palms is the steady stream of stuff they drop.

Much of it can be burned in the fireplace.

I've not found Palm wood to be a good substitute for dicots or conifers but some parts are good fire starters.

Such as mule palm infructescenses:

I wonder about soot buildup from using palm wood. Too much soot, chimney fire...bad. 

In warm climates fireplaces experience only occasional use, but such occasional use may lead to complacency regarding chimney safety. 

I cleaned chimneys as a kid is Sarasota, Florida,  after about two years or so all chimneys cleaned.  Just dryer vents after that (another fire hazard!)

Just wondering.

Anyone else burn palm wood?

I've found, over time, that Archontophoenix and Dypsis lutescens burn well when dried.
