cedar?

[pict]

can cedar be burned in a woodstove? I've loads of cedars killed by a fire on my land.

It's great kindling, but it's so light that you'll be reloading the stove every 45 minutes, bringing in more wood every 4 hours.

Also, in some conditions there could be a danger of overfire if you're burning full loads of cedar.

It can be burned, but with high oil content, it wants to burn fast. You could try large splits and whole rounds to slow it down a bit.

You won't find any better kindling. I look for cedar just for that reason.
