I'm waiting for my wood burning insert to be installed in two weeks and ordered my first cord of wood as a newbie. Although I did get more than a cord of wood...about a third of it was knotty, rotten, old and probably not worth even trying to burn. After picking out every piece of wood that appeared to be decent and worth burning, I filled up a 50 gallon garbage can, two large lawn/leaf bags and a very large wheel barrow with all of the debris (i.e. rotten bark, rotten wood and overall crap). The wood supplier (Splitzwood in Doylestown, PA) was recommended and has a decent looking website promising only the best seasoned hardwoods (Oak, Maple, Walnut, Ash, etc.)...what a joke! I feel duped as a newbie to all of this, but I guess it's all a learning process
Any advice on how NOT to get burned next time? Thanks!
