What are the real dangers of burning green/wet firewood? I had a good hot
bed of coals going in my wood stove, and I stuck in what turned out to be
a
couple of green chunks of wood (was not intentional). They quickly burst
into flame and burned fairly well, though a bit slower then the dry stuff.
Are there conditions, such as a hot established fire, where you can burn
green/wet wood, if it burns quickly and well?


The wet wood takes a lot of the energy of the fire to evaporate the
water in the wood before it will burn. The result is much less heat
from burning it. Let it dry first. As others said, creosote problems
will be higher also.
