In general, no. The draft, firebox, etc were designed for a fuel that burns right away, and leaves no coal or ash behind. Our last oil stove had a firebox made of metal about a 1/16th of an inch thick- wood stove, 3/8ths of an inch. Likely to be quite dangerous to try- cost of buying a wood stove is much less than cost of replacing house, furnishings, children, etc. And how would you get the ashes out of the oil stove?
Yes, you can burn man-made logs, such as compressed sawdust logs or eco-friendly fire logs, in a wood stove, provided that the stove is designed for such materials. It's essential to check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure compatibility, as some stoves may be optimized for traditional firewood. Additionally, burning man-made logs can produce less smoke and emissions compared to conventional wood, making them a cleaner option. Always ensure proper ventilation and follow safety practices when using any type of fuel in your wood stove.
When logs are burned, the mass remains the same but the volume decreases. This is because the burning process releases the stored energy in the logs in the form of heat and light, but the total amount of matter in the logs is conserved.

Burning logs in a fireplace is a chemical change. The wood undergoes combustion, which involves a chemical reaction where the wood reacts with oxygen to produce heat, light, and new substances like ash and smoke.
Cooking an egg or burning logs on a fire.
Not a good idea. Different heat, combustion air requirements. Dangerous.
It all depends what level your firemaking is. if your firmaking was 60 (Just high enough to burn yews) you would have to burn just under 63,000 yew logs. I would suggest burning maple logs, you would have to burn around 93k but it's a lot cheaper, but if you want it done fast yews is the way to go.
They both r logs
No. Burning a log is a chemical change since the fire turns the wood into ash, water vapor, carbon dioxide, and elemental carbon.
Small sticks burn faster than logs because they have a higher surface area to volume ratio, allowing oxygen to reach more of the material during combustion. This increased oxygen availability leads to a faster rate of burning. Logs, on the other hand, have a lower surface area to volume ratio and thus burn more slowly.
Yucca tree logs are not ideal for firewood due to their high water content, which can make them difficult to ignite and slow to burn. Additionally, burning yucca tree logs can produce a lot of smoke and may not provide as much heat as other types of firewood. It's better to use seasoned hardwoods like oak or maple for a more efficient and clean burning fire.
