Do what I said, and you'll have plenty of heat. It's a matter of "kiln drying" the green wood in on top of the burning wood below. It's not magic, it's not voodoo.
I try not to get involved in most of these threads,but I have to jump in here.If you have an outdoor boiler or furnace,I have no problem with you burning wood this way. You will just use
more wood and have more smoke,if you burn green wood. But this statement that you are kiln drying your wood as you burn it is nuts.ALL wood you burn dries as you burn it,you do not
kiln dry it. Kiln dry wood is exactly that,wood that has been dried in a kiln.Most of the moisture is gone before you burn it. To say that you are drying the wood like kiln dried wood in a
burning stove in a home is not only nuts,it is unsafe and irresponsible. The moisture released while you are "so called kiln drying it,is creating creosote".There is a huge problem with burning green wood its called chimney fires,you can burn your home down. If you have a chimney fire in your outdoor burner no big deal,it is well away from your home(or should be). I would much rather wake up to a cool or even cold home then to one on fire.I have been
married going on 38 years and have used wood as my basic fuel since then(we burned wood and coal when I was a kid,at home).Like JW said,with dry wood you use less wood.I try to keep my wood stocked ahead for at least 2 years.I can not imagine the hassle of trying to keep green and dry wood to mix and match.
Unless you shut your stove down several times during the winter,to clean your chimney,this is some very bad advice.He's right its not magic,its not voodoo,its called creosote build up
and you have a good chance of burning your home down.If you live alone,do what you want. But if you have anyone living with you this is totally irresponsible.
If you want to burn green wood that is your business,but please do not try to persuade others to do the same. Their lives and their families lives are on the line.I would ask anyone who
reads this to please season their wood as long as possible. Burning green wood is kinda like not cleaning the ice off of your sidewalk.Sooner or later you will slip up,and I do not care how
long you have been walking on the ice.
