Good Morning,
I currently have a VC Defiant 1975 that I am now pretty much set on upgrading to the "new" VC Defiant. This will be my first experience with a Cat stove and I read that unseasoned/green wood is not good for it as it will gum up. I have a ton of Ash wood that I split fairly thin 1-2mo ago and it has been covered and baking in the afternoon sun since. Normally, I wouldn't really give it a second thought and would burn it in my current old stove. However, with an expensive Cat in there will this do a lot of harm to it?
