I just scored access to an unlimited supply of 1x4 & 2x4 pine(?) in 4 foot lengths (brought home 2 pallets stacked 4'x4'x4' yesterday. I can get 1 to 2 stacked pallets every few weeks indefinately as this source (industrial box printing company) was paying someone to haul it away. All I have to do is drive my trailer there, they load it with a forklift. The owners are personal friends so its a win-win all around. The wood is dry, clean and no nails (almost too pretty to burn). I run my Skil saw across the stack a few times and its ready for the firebox.
Now my questions...
Do I burn this dimensional wood primarily, mix it with cord wood or burn cord wood primarily?
Should I stack it tightly in my firebox or ramdomly? It burns fast and hot.
Can I add some less than fully seasoned cord wood to a hot fire without trouble?
