not only traders: in areas where deamnd surpasses supply of somewhat
dry deadwood for collection, people cut fresh branches or log entire
trees to take home for immediate use as firewood. I have measured
more than once moisture contents exceeding 50% (own experiences in
Malawi and Madagascar ).

Xavier, you get the best stove and chimney clogged up quickly if you
use wet wood/fuel. many users in developing countries collect their
fuel in short-term intervals (daily/weekly) and dont' build up a fuel
stock-pile, so the fuel has little chance to dry.
wet seasons in tropical climates don't help either to get or keep
fuel
dry.
A good/important point well stated.
Moisture content of firewood is a crical factor in a wood stove.
Sometimes traders like to push the wet wood through - for obvious
reasons.
Regards,
Rajan
