What is the best wood to burn in a owb? I usually try to mix mine about half and half.. dont know if Im doing the right or wrong thing..
Bushman, don't jump down a guy's throat for asking a question.
All properly dry decent wood is best.
Green wood has poor btu, creates lots of creosote and robs the system of energy needed to drive of moisture in the wood before it can burn.
Burning green wood creates the glazed creosote deposits that start chimney fires easily.
Oh it burns and it is less work by far, but just because you can do it that way doesn't mean you should.Talked to a tree guy that has an OWB and he burns 8" or smaller oak logs and burns them all green and un-split and he tells me they burn just fine. Maybe he wastes some BTUs hut way less work. Pretty easy if you ask me
