Does it matter what I burn in my stove?

Yes, this is critically important!

Burning the wrong fuel can be bad for the environment and even damage your stove.  Make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions and only burn approved fuels.  

Look for the Ready to Burn logo on the fuel packaging which is the Woodsure accreditation that guarantees the wood fuel has assured quality and less than 20% moisture content.

This can be easily achieved by either seasoning your own wood for 2 years before burning, buying kiln dried wood or buying wood that has been certified to be “dry”.

A moisture meter is a good thing to have if you are seasoning your own wood fuel for 2 years before burning,  so you can check the logs before you burn them.
