I agree about small pieces burning quickly. In Wyoming, wood was either cottonwood which burns slow and hot but man, does it make ash fast, or pine which is another name for burns up right before your eyes! We had a hydraulic splitter and only ever split the most gigantic pieces. Our stove had a 42" opening and could hold a 4 foot log. Of course, one had to lift the dang heavy stuff and get it in there!
