RIFF, do u have a moisture tester for the firewood? u most likely know this, but i don't want to assume wrong. those inserts require very dry wood. from what i have heard, 20% or dryer. most wood that has been cut and split a year or so ago will work. otherwise, the stoves with the insert tubes are hard to light and are less efficient.
those new efficient stoves are great if ppl have wood cut a year or 2 ahead. not so much if ppl are cutting in summer for the next winter thou.
Quoting: JAZZz50 It's something I've been considering picking up because they're not that expensive, but I always let my firewood season for at least a full year before burning it inside. I have two racks that are over two years old, and some of my freshly split wood is from trees that were already dead so they've got a head start on the seasoning process. Plus, I can usually tell by the sound of two pieces of wood hitting each other while they're being stacked if they are seasoned or not. It's hard to explain the sound, but anyone who works with firewood regularly will understand the sound I'm talking about.
