I'm so glad to hear someone else say this too. With my EPA stove I'm finding that 18-20% moisture is the sweet spot. It ignites and burns well but doesn't run away like wood I've burned below 18%. Like many newer, higher tech products, my EPA stove is finicky. It needs dry wood but not too dry so as not to damage the stove with too hot of a fire. Each day I miss my pre-EPA stoves more and more.Ain't nothing wrong with 20% mc.
