Any input on what kind of burns you get with  knotted wood. I haven't started to burn it yet but I have some serious knots in Oak that my 22 ton splitter had a rough time cutting, just wondering if anyone has burn much of it.

Throw it in, it all burns

Burn it your right, H*** of lot of work splitting it

From my experience, knots are very dense and burn long and hot.

Agreed, I sometimes save the knotty wood for the cold nights.

Have to agree, toss it in as it all will burn and you dont have to screw with the knots.

Yep, definitely sucks splitting the knotty stuff, especially if all you had was a maul.

When I built my first boiler it had a 20x30" door, plan was to cut em about 16 inches long and as long as it was under 30" in diameter no need to split, just roll em in. Since then I've um...matured a bit and now have a inverted splitter for the skid steer. Was fine handling those big pieces when I was young and dumb, not so much now that I've matured.
