[QUOTE="brenndatomu, post: 4225580, member: 78787"] I have been doing something similar. I do a lot of my sawing/splitting on concrete, so it is easy to sweep up the saw chips and small splitter trash, throw it in a trash can, save it for those light heat load days. I guess I should mention that I only put the real dry stuff in a can, if it's greener wood i'm workin up, then chips go in a feed sack so they can breath. When it's time to use them, I fill a paper grocery bag (our local store still has those if you ask!) and throw it in the furnace in the evening when i'm home. They really burn hot, gotta control your air! It only lasts a couple hours, but that's enough in the spring and fall. I would imagine that chipper chips would be 'bout the same. I'd probably be a pain drying them out in any quantity though. I have been keepin my eyes peeled for a cheap residential size chipper to run the small limbs through. Why burn that stuff in a big pile when it could be heatin my home?! [/QUOTE]
