Thanks redclaymud!
Just one more thought-
All "wet wood" is not created equal. By that - I mean that green wood ( again, I believe that it can be an ally or an aggravation if you do not understand HOW to use it
) has moisture distributed throughout, and wood that was dry ( aged, seasoned or cured...whatever term you prefer to use) cannot physically re-adsorb moisture at the cellular level that green wood has in it. We can soak all we want - but on average - with chunks, you MAY get up to 1/4'' of penetration.
This may be why so many here have different opinions of what is better.... The tendency by some may be to lump wet wood all together with green wood.
