btu,s Loblolly Pine?

Yeah it's definitely good as far as pine goes. I have some red pine I'll be burning next year. Turns out it's better BTUs than the silver maple that's 1/2 of my main fuel supply for this year.

I always thought it was a no-no too. Actually it probably is, if you try to burn wet wood like your average homeowner.

I think the problem with pine (and I burn a lot of it) is that it will burn fairly wet. When dry it can burn very hot so when you combine poor burning practices that bung up the stacks and then add a hot raging fire you may get a chimney fire and then people turn around and blame it on the wood! I find it funny when people are asked if their wood is dry and they say "oh yeah it will burn". I wish I had some of your pine as mines at 15.3 mbtu, Im happy at least half my stack is higher btu wood.
