Default making wood chips

At least a half hour. Once cut up, it dries out fast.

I make chunks off of the bandsaw. Better than chips.

> 3)bark on/off?


Mostly off, but don't get anal on the thin bark of branches. I don't even
try to take that off.

Only needed with chips. Chunks burn much longer.
