Being "murican I mostly lurk. That being said you can burn sawdust safely, maybe
What I do is put a 3in tube vertically in the center of the stove. Pack sawdust around it as tight as you can. Pull the tube out and light the hole. as low as you can. I generally just throw a match in. the sawdust will burn in a circle outwardly. Mine is about 24 in round and 18in high and last about 3 hours.
I'm on the road now but if your interested I will post some pics in a week or so.
If you just want to try it out. Take a gallon can. put a tube in it and pack sawdust around it. pull the tube and light. You'll see what I mean Nice little on the job heater

Welcome to the forum Dave,
That's an interesting idea, my wood burner is unique in that it has a door on the side, it's a very crude design (Most things in this part of Europe are) but it does give out a lot of heat once it gets going. I don't need to use sawdust having plenty of rubbish timber to burn at the moment so I put it on the compost, but the time may come when I want to burn it .
