A fallen tree that we make our mini firewood from for solo stove mesa

Where does the miniature firewood come from that ends up in your Solo Stove Mesa tabletop fire pit? This is a storm-damaged tree that we are currently using to make our mini firewood (and our dog wondering what the heck just happened).  We always try to use already-fallen or standing-dead trees for many reasons. 

First off, it’s a much more sustainable and responsible way to make firewood.  With so much deforestation happening already, why cut down a perfectly healthy tree just to burn it? 

Secondly, this means the wood has already dried and aged naturally with no resources spent, unlike kiln-drying which requires large amounts of gas or electricity.  We then air dry it further until it’s ready to burn in your Solo Stove Mesa / Mesa XL / outdoor pizza oven.
