Yet you don't know firewood needs to be dry?



I assume you take your firewood to a psychiatrist in order for it to get
in touch with its inner lignum - so it knows what it really needs...


The rest of us just need the firewood to be sufficiently dry.


and as experiment shows, old firewood that has been left outside in the
wet, is actually dry bar a couple of inches at each end, and green wood
which is wet al; the way through, is still capable of burning once its
hot enough, The fire doing the drying.


Bit is all a bit too much for harry's binary one dimensional mind to
encompass. 4 legs good, two legs bad.


The wetter it is, the more energy is lost evaporating the water. It
won't start burning until dry.


they said that about sodium, too..

Tch. So you still don't believe burning wet wood is less efficient
than burning dry wood?


nowhere before have you mentioned efficiency harry.

You said "you don't know firewood needs to be dry?"

I said more or less 'it doesn't'

You are squirming and weaselling

I rest my case .


And I rest mine

You ARE a stupid old windbag.


That says more about you, than it does about me, harry.
