It is supposed to get above freezing today so my mind is turning to spring.  Every spring and summer I get a couple of wood chips to dispose (from a clearing chipping job).  Any idea if they could be burnt in an E-classic?  They are generally free of fine particles so a dust explosion is not a big worry, but with so much more surface area over heating could be or smothering the fire could be.

I was thinking 2/3 regular wood and 1/3 chips.

I am also concerned with this affecting the warranty.  If it will void the warranty I will not burn them, as there are far to many problems with these units to not have the waranty.

Any thoughts?

Hi Stumper,
I have seen these wire logs for sale, which are intended let you burn pellets in wood stoves.
They look like havahart traps (similar gage wire) with trap door on one end.

I think if have some way to hold the chips together, so they will not block air I think you could burn chips.
I do not think that it can be loaded like logs, but a few wire logs on bottom where blower air can reach the chips may work.
