I was just looking at an old coal stove for my garage. The price was right but I passed. I was thinking I have LOTS of shorts and uglies. Splitt up in nice softball sized pieces they wood be nice in a stove like that, once a good base fire has been established.
Ones made out of coal. 😂
But seriously for wood You are going to want as big as possible in there to reduce the surface area and slow down the burn
