Pyrewood (pie-r-wood)

Pyrewood is a lightweight wood that, when set ablaze, burns forever if not doused. Despite being able to burn forever, the wood does not produce smoke unless another material is added to it. This makes it ideal for indoor use as ventilation of the smoke is unnecessary. Pyrewood trees are slow growing, taking nearly a century to reach maturity, reaching an average height of 30ft tall, though some specimens have been known to grow upwards of 50ft high in rare cases.
