Nobody will use that wood in Germany which if I remember correctly is where you live, or wherever you live. But I please don't deny what I can see with my own eyes.
Also, are you talking about using that wood for small metal stoves or the large stone fireplaces that are built in houses?
Oak firewood is absolutely one of the best types of firewood you can burn.   (https://burlybeaver.com/oak-firewood/)

I'm talking about this:

And if you don't trust me then probably you would believe a company with billions revenue from selling just heating systems andvery single type of pellet burning for boilers central heating and this is how those pellets are harvested.

As for oak and walnut nobody uses those because despite having a high caloric input they are worth more as furniture, rather than burning a cubic meter of walnut you make a table out of it and buy 20mc3 of beech with that price  Grin And if you think about leftovers, those are made into, pellets Tongue.

Oh btw, I can smell where that confusion is coming, pellets, wood briquettes, same stuff for me.

I will only ask one very simple question, why is the entire energy situation viewed only through the prism of Germany? The EU has a total of 27 member states, and each of them will try to adapt to the energy crisis in their own way, and as always, some will be more successful than others.

Cause if Germany would cut gas consumption tomorrow there wouldn't be a crisis anymore. If Bulgaria would do the same it would not matter as they burn about 20 times less. If tomorrow Coinfield is hacked nobody will care, if Binance's coins are gone, we're going to go though a lot of pain...
