Drying/warming logs on stove energy efficient?

gobuchul · 2025-01-15T13:55:20Z

I have a large 9.6kw stove in the living room. The top obviously gets hot when in use but nowhere near what the 5kw did in our previous house. With the smaller stove if I put a log on top it would start smoulder after a while. With this one, logs placed on top do not get so hot as to smoulder but do get warm so can be safely left there to dry out further. Is it efficient to absorb some of the heat from the stove in order to further dry the logs for future use?

Not a flounce, I'm still here.....just adding something substantial when a thread has this much wiffle probably requires a post citing academic papers etc.

Mert, very good, I actually have both books!
