I have heard that honeysuckle isn't a good firewood.
Because of that, I've thought biochar was the preferable way to use them.
Chippers get a bad rap but I think chipping them would make storing, drying and burning them pretty easy.

I bet those would work well for straighter sticks. But the honeysuckle's wacky shape doesn't stack or compact well. It'd be all air space, very little wood stored and a ton of totes needed. They could well be a solution for someone else working with different sticks though! I've always wondered if those holes for tie downs in the lids cause these totes to leak. Have you had an issue with that?
