Thanks JBPine burns very well. Its just like any other wood, needs to be seasoned. The pine sap is just a myth.
Thanks , good to know because I can get plenty of pinePine, properly seasoned, is your friend.
Embrace it. Get as much as you can. Burn it keeping in mind that it's going to get HOT, fast sometimes.
It will get you through shoulder season, and help you burn marginal firewood.
It's all that the guys out west have to burn, usually.
Creosote is caused by less than ideal firewood, nothing more, nothing less.
Oh, and it also causes a multitude of ailments, conditions............. I am sure it's about to begin ( get ready for extreme sarcasm !!)

Thanks DexPine is Fine.
Thats a common North East myth, where hardwoods are very readily available.
What happens most time, is someone has burned lots of wet wood (Oak that has not seasoned for the 2-3 yrs) and they burn it within a month or two of cutting. The moisture cools the gases in the flue and condenses out in the form of creosote. Then, they follow up with a few splits of Pine, (which seasons much quicker than Oak) and the stove/chimney gets hot enough (because your burning good seasoned wood) to ignite the creosote.
Look at the Pacific Northwest and Canada. Almost all Pine, Spuce, Doug Fir up there. Its colder in Canada than here in the states. You know there burning wood up there? Right?
Let it season properly. And it will be as good as any other wood (well, to burn. Not length of burn). Oak takes a FULL 2-3 yrs to properly season and get below 20% moisture content. Most other woods are only 1 yr Cut/Split/Stacked. Wood does not start drying/seasoning till its split. Cutting wood now for burning season is what most do around me. And the smoke pouring from there chimney proves that (even with a modern EPA unit).
Welcome to the Forums. Get all the Oine you can. Makes for a great shoulder season wood. Something for a quick fire, when only a short fire is needed.
Do any of you burn pine.? I was told that it causes too much creosote is it good for anything
creosote causes chimney fires and you can get plenty of that from green hard wood.Pine causes chimney fires
I'm glad to hear that it seasons faster then other woods I have 8 pine trees that I split and they were are 4 to 5 stories high and it came out to about 8 cords of pine only so do u think I should burn pine when it gets really coldi was straighned out too. I now have a bit of it to burn this year. I did not cut as much as i should have cause i was to busy getting oak. But the pine i bucked and split this spring is now 20% or below MC i wish i would of got about a cord of the stuff!!
