<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">It seems to me with using small stoves that the variation in the fuel is the biggest ‘noise’ factor in maintaining uniform heating. We have split wood, dry-wet, bark covered rounds and all types of wood etc. that in addition to a full/ empty fuel box or glowing embers all contribute to the variation. Pellets and pressed fuels are one solution. It seems the lowest amount of work and energy to make fuel uniform is turning sticks to chips. But are there any stoves designed to burn them?<u></u><u></u></span></p>
