yes but it has to be dried for about three years... then it will burn quickly, giving off medium heat... but the resin will be a problem if you don't clean your chimney regularly.

A house can be made so tight that negative pressure can develop inside. Try opening a door or window near by when you try to light the stove. This should equalize the pressure between the house and the outside. You should be able to start the updraft.

prevent burning the surroundings while soldering in a tight area
A technician can always prevent burning the surroundings while soldering in a tight area by using a fire resistant spray or a heat shield.
A clean chimney, shortest possible stovepipe with fewest bends. Chimney should extend higher than anything close to it. Be sure dampers are open. You may need "make up" air- air going up the flue had to come from somewhere. You may need to crack a window in a very tight house.
When the metal parts are being heated they do not all expand at the same rate depending on size and even on the composition of the metal and what type of alloy's are being used for the handle and the base unit. When cooled all the parts will return to their manufactured size and shape because the metal will contract again as it cools. In this instance with a stove if you were to supercool the entire stove that handle would probably contract so much that you wouldn't be able to even open the door.
I used the Rutland Grapho-Glas 1/2" - 5/8" X 60" ROPE gasket on my old Sears Circulator Wood/Coal Heater, Model # 143.84082. The 5/8" Braided would not give it a proper air-tight seal.
SCRAP IT! You will be doing your family a great service! They are really for decor only! If you over heat, it will shatter, sending hot coals all over your floor! DO NOT try to make air tight! You will regret it! Stove are made this way for a reason, they need lots of air to stay cool! Air tight stoves are welded at seams!
I think it has been using a shield of non combustible material for insulation .
Seriously!? But if you are serious then i guess so.You could fill them with...Tuna MayoHam and Cheese
