I've found the Pignut Hickory and Ash bark make very good fire starter. So yeah I burn it but save a lot of it for fire building. I just break it into small narrow strips and about 8-10" long.

WS Progress can burn a load of pure bark with no overfire
I wonder how many non-cat stoves could burn a load of just bark and not overfire their stove? Just for the fun of it, I loaded pure Oak bark in the Progress last night and it burned pretty much like a normal load - lots of lazy secondaries for a couple hours and then a slow burn to ashy coals...

Burning Bark
As the winters gone on ive accumulated a nice pile of bark that has come flying off as i split wood. I know the bark holds moisture in the wood so ive been hesitant to burn it, but it seems dry. Do you guys bother burning it? Seems like a waste of fuel to let it sit there

Anyone burn bark?
It's not bad. I had about 6 trash cans of bark that I had collected to chip up, but then one of the chipper's teeth got chipped, and I just kept it in those trash cans for awhile. This was bark that fell off the splits when I was stacking in the garage, last year I think. Anyway, it burns...

If bark falls off while wood is in my stacks I either throw it in the woods or use it as poor man’s wood chips for the erosion on the hill my wood sits on.
If bark is still on wood when I go to burn it, it goes in the stove.

Birch bark is great, I don't have any here on my property on LI but I use it all the time for firestarting at the ski house in VT.
