We have a wood burner and generate a lot of sawdust. This year we are doing an experiment to try and turn the material into compost using urine as a starter/feed and add nitrogen to the mix with kitchen scraps, is there any downside to our idea, cheers Dave

Downsides? Only if you don't like making compost.

"You must be the change you want to see in the world." "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." --Mahatma Gandhi

What kind of wood is the sawdust from?
