Ok first batch of oily wood chips is soaking.
I have a big pile of wood chips in my field and I fill up a rolling municipal trash can I stole and park it next to my garage. I just dumped about 2 quarts of used motor oil on the wood chips once inside the trash can.
Ironically it's a green recycling bin with a big recycling symbol on it.
What that does is gets rid of used motor oil and allows me to fit an additional 50,000 to 80,000 BTUs of fuel in the coal furnace may slow down the rate at which the fire spreads through the wood chips. As the oil will have to cook off before the wood chip can become incandescent, which appears to be what spreads the fire.
