Seeing cracks is the best indicator. I burn maple, oak, Aspen-popple, pine, and birch. Splitting in half or quarters dries just fine. Sun and wind, stacking with a little space between pieces, my wood dries in 4+ months. I cover the tops of my wood racks with thick black plastic sheeting. Michigan summers have long days but the wood must be cut, split, and stacked in April, May, and June; for burning by November.
Burn wood stove for about 35 years . Burn mostly free Chinese elm from a local golf course,also crap wood from a tree guy down the street,stuff he can’t sale. Over the years burn dry wood green wood wet wood snow covered wood ,a hot fire will burn most anything . You must keep your chimney clean or you will burn your house down. Good hot fire helps but I still clean out about once a month same time clean door glass with cheap oven cleaner. Burn 24/7 in cold WVa winter. Stay safe stay warm!
i like that little stove.
Catalytic stoves are a PITA, rocket stoves are simpler and burn just as clean. Paint or pallet wood is fuel for them as they just burn the chemicals up. If they do not, the air in the stove never enters the house anyways.
What about Doug fir?
Pallet wood is usually fine, as it's typically untreated. Not always, though.
Frank Burns I enjoyed MASH. You and Hotlips cracked me up.
Pallet wood is kindling to me.
Actually many pallets are fumigated with chemmies and especially when they have import products on them.
I wouldn't want those fumes in my house. You can see you o n the code on the side what treatment it had. HT means heat treated so shoukd be safe unless customs has fumed it anyway.
@@Thomes-Maisling your mom is kindling to me
Wrong, Pallet wood is treated for bugs and insects because they are used to move product by truck, ship, plane and train across North America. All pallets have a stamp on them indicating that they have been treated. Pallets used for shipment to Europe form North America have a different chemical process in order to keep insects from getting into Europe.
If want good dry firewood try get old fence post from farmers (not the treated ones) they been drying for years and they burn well.
Firewood loses on average 3% of its calories annually due to decomposition, and besides, wouldn't the farmer keep the fence for himself?
We were burning crap wood for a month. My husband stacked the less seasoned wood instead of the longer seasoned wood and I now have black glass and smoky fires. We have a LOPI cat converter stove and I am worried that I might have caused a problem. Oh this was really pissing me off!!!!!!
Get some good dry seasoned wood and burn baby but
William Hall sure did!!!!
Certain woods produce different burn times and heat output. Personally I would start your fire with a soft wood, heat the flue to cause a good draw, have a good level of hot Ash, (cherry red) then start with a hard wood. The heat is in the Ash. Start learning what you are burning. The laws will definitely get stricter, so start to understand your wood, learn the difference from soft woods and longer burning hard woods.
Heat is in the coals, not the ash.
Also, it's best to start with any type of wood, but cut the kindling down to the most appropriate size for the stage of the burn.
What do you think they do with pallets that can’t be used anymore ? They burn them!

They are burned outside because they are chemical treated wood and not safe for indoors burning because the fumes could be dangerous.
I have firewood for the next 15 year, only from pallets, and no nails in it. And its dry, max 6% water
I didnt get that comment either as normally there heat treated marked HT and made from beech not pine! So unless they mean those euro pallets that are blue?
I learned not to burn "pregnant" wood:). Thanks I'll show myself out.
What's pregnant wood?
I never heard of it either

A good idea is not to buy a heater that requires the use of a tool to operate the handle that should be made to use without a tool 😂
I’d assume it could have to do with child safety regulations
