burning lumber scraps?

So burning ply wood is just fine? What about the interior surfaces of the the burning device? Wouldn't the off gassing of the glue be kind of bad for steel surfaces? I have read that on here before, I think.

My inserts manual specifically says to not burn any type of plywood. I will stick with their advise.

That was my initial thoughts but after reading that article I thought I'd ask about it.

I am building the house my stove will end up in so I have tons of scrap lumber ends from trimming boards. It is mostly the cut off ends of the 1x6 subfloor and ends of 2x lumber but it fills several large trash bags and has been sitting for at least 2 years. I have no doubt it will burn well but I will hold back how much goes into each load. I also have full length boards, not many, the are so badly twisted I could not use them at all. I consider those to be firewood too.

I hear you. In my case, these are a testament to how long it takes me to get a project done sometimes. The fact that I can burn them is my one consolation....

I remodeled my entire house recently. Plaster and lathe. I saved as many of the lathe boards as I could. Used em for starter wood. Also used all the cut offs as well. I will not burn the plywood or OSB tho.
