Hello,
I just had a Blaze King Princess Ultra put in yesterday and the only wood I have access to is partially seasoned split birch. I got a whole cord of it and it varies from 16-25% mositure content (measured with a moisture meter with the two metal prongs). I live in Fairbanks Alaska and its too cold to go find dead standing firewood right now. I put some of it inside my house (63 degrees and its so dry in there that your finger tip almost gets blow off when you flip a light switch!!) to try to aide in quicker drying. My question is, besides the obvious loss in BTU's that come with burning "wet" wood, is there any other negitive effects that it may cause my Converter in my woodstove?
-Also what is the target range % wise that is good for fire wood?
Thank you!
Ben
