Everyone on this forum should have the knowledge about burning softwood. It’s Mr Joe Bloggs that doesn’t and will consistently demand hardwood because that’s what they’ve been told. No amount of education will change their mind until the stove manufacturers change their guidance. Some of the other guidance on the Jotul site also recommends that you should only buy kiln dried logs!!!

The country would of felled and run out of hardwood by then

Some interesting stuff in there (just got to the bit about wood humidity versus wood water content).  Worth a read.
