fuel wood
Wood for fires
Fuel wood is wood gathered or grown specifically for burning—whether for heating, cooking, or other energy needs.
The term emphasizes wood's function rather than its form, distinguishing it from timber used for building or paper production.
The village relied on fuel wood from the surrounding forest.
