Thats right the heck with the oil, first yr with my new stove I burned mostly 6 month css Oak 7 24s kept my house warm, I just didn't tell anyone on here that I was sinning. :zip:
At that it was better wood than many people have, still had to suck with that dense of wood. Do you know what the moisture content was?
 
I had read on here about the new stoves and dry wood, so by june I had css three cords of chesnut oak, stacked single rows with small splits when I started burning MM read an average of 30%, I had about one cord left from year before that averaged 20%, I mixed these and was very satisfied with the heat.
 
I made this one from rebar and 3/4" 10 gauge expanded metal. Shovel part is 12" X 6".

At first I thought that was a side attachment to the tractor. If so that would be for some major sized burn pits.
