there's no right to collect fallen wood.

Like windfall fruit etc, you can ask the landowner and they may thank you for it, others may be using fallen timber for biodiversity.

Don't go round collecting resinous woods like yew, pine and cypress; the resin will wreck your flue. Burn hardwoods like ash, oak and beech.

Trying to burn wet wood knackers the flu. Properly dried softwood is an excellent fuel which burns hot. It will burn quicker than the hardwood, but as long as it is dry it will cause no problems.
