I noticed so many people I talk to about burning wood for heat and a lot of the people I see post on online forums will only make use of wood 4-6" in diameter or larger.
So here's a question and maybe conversation starter to throw out there: am I the only one that will use all of a tree down to about an 1" in diameter? The brush I discard or leave where felled, but I find burning in wood stove that is not kept stoked 24 hours a day and therefore, must be started at least four or five times a week, I can make use of everything from 40" rounds to 1" sapwood throughout the course of a burn. It also saves me from having to scrounge for kindling, I always have all I need.
Am I crazy or does anyone else do the same thing?
