just curious how chinese elm burns. someone told me they have a lot of creosote problems with elm in a non cat stove. should I for sure get a cat stove if I burn elm. Elm is what I have found the most of. Just got done cutting and splitting some dead elm. It has that hollow like dry wood ring when dropped on concrete. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Like I alluded to earlier chinese elm is in abundance in my part of the world.
