Your Burning Pine?

[Cluttermagnet]

Always happy to accept Pine. Mixes well with hardwood. Has an amazing amount of BTU's in it.
Who would have thought it?

The construction cutoffs I get are pine. Makes dandy kindling, and big chunks of dimensional
lumber are great for getting a fire going again fast.

But I caution you against burning pine. Give it to me instead. I know how to handle it safely.

One of my neighbors had a pine tree taken down & refused to give it to me! He let the tree guys take it & dump it, he didn't want us to burn it in our fireplace because it's dangerous.

That is one sad, sad story.
I haven't had much pine to burn last couple of years, and I'm missing it.

I put pine in my Wonderwood, and so far it seems to smoke less than the oak and hickory I burn normally. Still, I would suggest scrubbing your chimney monthly.

No.
