Oak firewood has a big minus. Oak takes a very long time to dry.
All you have to do is wait for it to dry.
And as a rule, firewood is sold immediately after the tree has been cut down.
That will be where you live.
Therefore, you will have problems lighting the stove, or you will have to chop wood into smaller chips and use lighter fluids.
No because I never put wood that is not dry in the fireplace.
Pine, birch, aspen dries very quickly.
Pine and aspen are garbage for fireplaces the first for being resinous and the second for being soft.
