More btu in the wood means higher stack temps, makes sense I guess.

Based on that theory, stack temps should decrease even more for a very-low BTUs-per-volume unit fuel such as corrugated cardboard.

Yet contradicting the model, corrugated cardboard will melt your stack and burn your house down.

I think BTUs ÷ time would show more correlation with stack temp than BTUs ÷ volume.
