If you had no other option but to burn wood that was around 20% moisture-wise...other than brushing out the chimney more often, what concerns would you have?
Can burning moist wood damage a stove at all?
Personally, I'd probably remove my CAT so I don't damage that. Other than that I'm just curious if it can be done safely.
The reason I ask is because I just got a cord and it's testing around 15% but some of the stuff that was on the bottom of the pile was sitting in the snow for a while and it got pretty moist. Either way I'm not happy with this supplier and don't plan to use him again. The guy I usually get it from gives me 8-11% wood. But he was out. Lesson learned though...for the future I'll know to always have a cord ready to burn and a few in the process of becoming seasoned.
