fuelwood
Wood for fires
Fuelwood is wood used as fuel for burning—for heat, cooking, or light.
The term appears mainly in discussions of energy resources and deforestation in developing regions, where fuelwood remains a primary energy source: Families spend hours each day gathering fuelwood.
In everyday speech, firewood is more common.
