Crap vs good wood in stove?

[Adamam]

Is there any reason to be a log-nazi with woodburners?

 

I ask because I burn whatever comes my way, and recently that has been plenty of horse chestnut and 2-year dried conifer. Seems to keep me just as toastie as anything else I've ever burned, albeit with slightly more frequent visits to the log sheds...

 

Is this obsession with log-types simply a throw-back to when 99% of logs were burnt on open fires?

I think your spot on i burn any wood that comes my way any type of log as long as its dried

out etc .At the end of the day it would be criminal to burn quality timber chopped up for firewood etc its an end product so no waste etc green all round

 

and your saving on gas n electricity too

Yes, burn what you got, if it's free.

As long as its dry all wood will burn and generate heat, some do it better than others. Personally I burn all the crap I get, so half rotten birch, pine etc. Decent stuff I sell.

Been burning smashed up pallets the last couple of nights. Fed up moving them when they get in the way so chopped the all up and burning them. Provide good flame and plenty heat. Only downsides are out to log shed every 2 mins ad the ashes will be full of nails. Burn what you have as long as it's dry:thumbup1:

Nah. Floor of the shed was well swept after. Nails will be removed from the ashes when stove gets cleaned out. Luckily pallets don't leave much ash.
