You are right right, next they will be saying burn green pine? I prefer the advice of the old timers on this site, oak, ash, hicory and other hardwoods for long burns and pine on startup and the marginal season. I'm not giving up my hardwoods.

I was hoping some one else had an opinion on this but I'll go first, this has been discussed (argued) on here before and I do know punky wood will gas off and kick in the secondaries imeditately after putting the wood in the stove but did not know they claimed creosote buildup. The other thing is most people say that the wood will not get too dry if kept from rotting or turning punky.n3pro said:"Some well-seasoned wood can in fact be too dry for today's airtight modern stoves. If you place wood that is too dry on a bed of coals, it will instantly give up its gases as smoke, wasting unburned smoke and producing creosote buildup."
I never heard of creosote buildup from wood that is too dry. I guess I better put a spray bottle by the stove just incase I get too dry wood.
