Screw that holds the secondary air tube in place snapped while unscrewing it to clean the stove. How would you remove this? With a pair of locking pliers I can't get a good grip.

Is this okay or does this need a birdsmouth?

Can I fill this with 3 rows of unseasoned wood and expect it to dry reasonably fast? If not, can I do 2 rows? 1 row? Or should I leave it in single rows for it to dry out in my driveway? Splitting it now to try to burn it this year.
