Yes, you can boil sap from your wood stove, but it requires proper setup and safety precautions. You'll need a suitable evaporator pan to efficiently heat the sap, and it's important to monitor the temperature to prevent burning. Additionally, ensure good ventilation to avoid smoke buildup indoors. Boiling sap indoors can produce a lot of steam, so be prepared for moisture management in your kitchen.
Yes, you can boil sap in an electric roaster.
Not the best wood. Rapid burn, rapid burn out, very high creosote production- if used other than as kindling, be sure to clean your chimney OFTEN.

A wood pellet stove is a stove that burns pellets or wood. Burning the wood or pellets creates a source of heat for homes or businesses.
A traditional wood stove burns wood to heat a room. The wood stove blower is a fan system that is used to distribute the heat created by the stove around a room or building.
Spruce, pine and fir are all soft woods, and tend to have too high a sap content to burn in a wood stove. The higher sap content translates into greater creosote production in your chimney and can lead to a fire. Stick to harder woods. They burn longer with more heat produced and a cleaner chimney.
To prevent sap from oozing out of wood, you can try sealing the wood with a wood sealer or finish. This will help to create a barrier that can prevent sap from leaking out. Additionally, avoiding excessive heat or sunlight exposure can also help reduce the likelihood of sap oozing out of the wood.

Tree sap doesn't necessarily boil. But it does have a melting point which depends on the type of tree it is. If you're asking this because you have recently heard your tree 'hissing', don't assume you're hearing the tree letting off steam. It's actually just the water evaporating causing the wood of the tree to expand/contract.
To prevent wood from leaking sap, you can apply a sealant or finish to the wood surface. This will create a barrier that helps to prevent sap from seeping out. Additionally, using properly dried and seasoned wood can also help reduce the likelihood of sap leakage.
Put wood inside instead of coal one day and see what happens. Size does not matter. If it is a large stove use large wood, if it is a small stove then use small wood.
