All good suggestions, but really dodges the point of getting rid of unwanted wood. If you heavily tree farm, you're going to find logs piling up like a miner piles up gneiss.

just a suggestion.
Or just let us drop logs in directly would be nice. Takes 2-3x longer to burn, but 50% increased yield (due to no wasted material when making blocks/boards), maybe decreased quality (not an issue if you're just making junk coal for low/mid Q burn jobs). Added bonus: get very rare 1x4 curio "charred log" when pulling out of the kiln. Something like being put through test of fire and coming out unscathed flavor text.
