They need dry wood to run properly Dry as in >20% moisture content. Ash and Hackberry will dry down in a years time. It will take white oak and similar 1-2 years to reach that level. Wood needs to be split and stacked off the ground. Left in the round it will dry much slower.You can get away with burning it less dry, (but not green) but you won't get the BTUs out of it and you run a higher risk of creosote build up in your chimney.I've been using a wood stove as primary heat for 12 seasons now. I like to have 2+ years of wood on hand if possible. Buying or cutting, stock up on next years wood this year</blockquote>
