best wood for overnight shutdown

[mendiplogs]

We've got a morso squirrel, stays overnight whatever you put in it, really really good burner

What do you guys do to keep wood in all night?

Got a multi fuel so just put a bucket of coal on, would like to know how to do it with wood though

Leave the ash to build up, burn large lumps of well seasoned hardwood and close down the dampers. No great mystery to it.

All I burn is well seasoned softwood. Since it's so easy to light there's no benefit of having embers in the morning, in fact I open my air vent up to avoid black glass. And as mentioned very little ash with softwood.

evergreen oak grown near the coast..... Or anything heavy from the tropics.

I use anything with knots in it. Split all my logs with an axe, anything that wont split gets put to one side and cut up with the saw and stacked separately and used overnight

We have an Aarrow Stratford, but I do not remember paying anything like this for it about five years ago!

 

Aarrow Stratford Eco 25 HE Multi-fuel / Woodburning Boiler Stove - Aarrow Stoves - A to F - Brands - Stoves Are Us

 

If I cut 8"x 8" lengths of beech with the Lucas saw and cut them to fit the width of the Stratford, season them and when they are ready load them packed tight on a bed of hot ash they will last 12 hours.

 

A woodburner must be fairly air tight around the door and controls to stay in, so pay attention to the seals. The flames need to be "milky" and not bright.

 

Give a good full heat blast first thing in the morning to burn off any deposits.

Quite a few on here own or recommend Morso stoves.

 

Here's a quote from the Morso brochure -

 

"You can do both yourself and the environment a big favour by following these recommendations:

 

...Don't leave the stove burning overnight. Leaving your stove burning overnight is bad for your wallet and the environment."
