my boss burned only wood for heat for around twenty years. for as long as i have known him i rarely saw a stack of firewood.
he had always cut a little wood and then burned it. he also has told me about some wood having 'more sap' then others. as an example he said the blackish liquid running down the wall at his thimble was 'sap' from burning wild cherry. he also mentioned that it was very difficult to clean the glass on his wood stove. after a while it was completely blacked out.
this all sounds like creosote to me. he seems to be blisssfully unaware of the situation. somehow he never has had a chimney fire. fortunately he is now burning oil in a new home.
anyone else burn green more than seasoned? is there some advantage i am not seeing?
