Ha yup, my buddies dad burned all the scrap 2x4's from his new house construction project, back in the 1980's, He burned them in his woodstove that he used to heat his house.
Yes you can guess what happened, he had a chimney fire.
Those fresh 2x4's can be quite sappy and wet.
After that no more 2x4's in the woodstove.
No more chimney fires.
I heard that same old saw when in the remote mountain valleys of Bulgaria. They were burning poorly seasoned wood and filling the whole valley up with smoke within hours.If you ever make the mistake of joining any of the firewood groups on facebook, just brace yourself for those arguments, along with the ones claiming green wood burns better because it's SLOWER! dry wood burns too fast!
Not bad, my neighbor a mile down the road is a successful plastic surgeon, he has two cabins in Polebridge, Montana on 40 acres that I can visit whenever he's there. All they have is woodstoves and only softwood mostly pine and fir, last winter it was 35 below we stayed three days, me wife and I in the guest cabin, he and his in main cabin everybody stayed warm all night and day, burning pine.
