Last night got the fire started with some scrap red oak pieces and oak splits. Once i was ready for a reload i put in a few chunks of 2" thick kiln dried white oak around 18" long. I backed the air all the way down and went up to bed. for some reason i decided to check on the fire one more time and much to my surprise the stove was pegged and almost 800 degrees. I have a decent supply of red oak and white oak drops from a manufacture so i would like to use the material. Should i just throw them in and immediately back down the air supply? Maybe mix them with some splits that have a little higher moisture content?
