Can anyone tell me if when wood will spark and when it won't?
I mean I (think I ) know that burning resiny wood causes sparks.
And I also know that damp wood will cause sparks.

My first impression *is that sparking is greatly reduced but I am still

Any one have * first hand experience here?

Any wood from pines or firs will/can spark, whether wet or dry. The
other one to watch for is willow, which is particularly explosive,
especially when burnt wet.

We have a woodburner and, on order, a wood burning Aga type cooker.
We burn mostly oak, seasoned at least 2 years, it burns well and no
sparks. *We also burn frene and some pine as we have a lot of pine
beams over 150 years old from the barn. *We had the roof replaced as
it was infested with Capricorne. *This pine doesn't spark but I doubt
there is any resin left in it after all this time.

be careful you don't melt the bars.
