I have to resplit my wood when I buy it, I get more in my stove when pieces are smaller, the wood burns more uniform. Large pieces do not burn properly. All good points.
Thanks for watching!
We need more videos showing the facts vs myths on this subject!
All to often I have had some sort of “Karen” stating that heating my home with wood was illegal, and harmful to the environment, and just wrong! Many of their views were about smoke emissions not from the actual fire, but the processing of the firewood, chainsaws, log splitters, trucks and such! So, after listening to their statements, I educated them the best I could, that harvesting locally uses less fuel then the delivery and processing of fuel oils, splitting at home or having a delivery of firewood. Then they went down the chimney so to speak about the actual emissions of stoves, and I started laughing ( shouldn’t have) but I look at fire wood as “today’s carbon” as in the fact that trees and vegetation absorb carbon from the most recent atmosphere, and store it, the only way to release that carbon is either letting it rot in the wood or burning, and when burning it only releases the amount of carbon it has stored, no more-no less. Compared to other fossil fuels that are archaic to begin with, being refined,( addition of chemicals) transported and burned the carbon footprint is much larger!
People need to get their facts straight!

Yes it is, and we'll likely be doing some videos about specific hardwoods in the future. Thanks for tuning in!
