Kenster said:There is a very large pine trunk that has been downed in the front yard of a neighbor down the road for almost a year. Nothing but about a thirty foot trunk. Not a single limb. The trunk has blown its bark. Just laying there. I'm thinking I should go offer to get it out of the way for her. What do you think?

Have you ever felt like being a rebel? Have you ever felt like bucking conventional wisdom, being a maverick, going rogue? Here's your chance. Burn that Pine! Cut, split, and stack it! Let them sneer as you stack cord upon cord, you'll show 'em.spam said:I have access to tons of free pine, some dead, some green, some dry.

You can burn Pine, just like any other wood. Make your splits a little larger than your hardwood splits, and be prepared to load a little more frequently. Watch your flue temps., as Pine will outgas quicker and burn hotter. Shut your air down sooner, and no problems. Get all you can get, but leave room for hardwood when you get it.

First, what stove are you using? Second, if the wood is dry, you'll have no problems. Check your flue as often as you want to, or at least once a month. Once you know how the stove burns- with that type of wood,- you'll be set. Brushing a flue is easy,smokinjay said:spam said:what about the build up in the flue? is that a myth? do you run the stove differently ? do you clean more often when burning pine?

Needs to be seasoned like anything else. Maybe a little more so but other than that keep chimney inspected!
