Subject: [Stoves] Burning wet wood 

Have we ever looked at the question of how to design a stove to burn 
wood that is higher in moisture? It would seem that this is very 
important practical issue, and that a stove that could burn wet wood 
would be very popular. What makes a stove burn wet wood well or poorly? 
The only time I remember someone saying something about this was 
Crispin, who I believe said recently that preheating the primary air 
makes it possible to burn wetter wood. This would be easy with a batch 
stove, harder with continuous feed. Other than that, I can think of a 
couple things that might help burn wetter wood.
