Hey Folks - I am in my first year of using a wood burning stove (Jotul Castine). I own a little bit of woodland with my property and have recently cut two trees down. I store the split logs outside to dry but have a boat load of small branches and twigs. I will build a bigger shed next year outside where I will be able to store those as well but in the meantime I was contemplating putting the small stuff in my garage. Now I remember that the home inspector said when we bought the house never to have more than one days worth of wood in the house and also not to store any wood in the garage because of wood-boring insects. Does this hold true for twigs and branches as well (to be used for kindling and fire starting)?
And on a second thought - are you guys burning the bigger branches as rounds or do you split everything? And I mean a couple of inches in diameter?
Now out into the cold, cutting more stuff down!
Thanks in advance!
