I can't believe that you had such BEAUTIFUL weather just yesterday!! We've been encased in mud and ice for what seems like years down here!
May I inquire of y'all...how long should pine wood dry before using? My hubby is "absolutely positively sure" that we can't burn pine in our burner....
I'm absolutely positively sure we can! LOL It just needs to be dry enough....but I'm unsure how long it takes to dry.
thanks, my father in law bought it new and it sat in his shed a lot until he got tired of looking at it and asked if we wanted itThat thing is mint dude. What's the story with that? Where did you find that in such good shape?
Great set up
gotta explain to him how a large majority burn softwoods because there aren’t a lot of other choices to be had. Just need to do it correctly, like with any other wood.I can't believe that you had such BEAUTIFUL weather just yesterday!! We've been encased in mud and ice for what seems like years down here!

He could also google pine firewood myth or something like that. Many good sources have long since concluded that it actually causes LESS creosote than hardwood. I’ve burned about about 4 cords of it over last few yrs. I sweep my chimney liner at least once a year and it always has only a minor amount of dry soot that is easily sweepable. I like pine especially for getting the fire going but will also use it in general if I’m going to be around the house to reload wood more frequently (less BTUs than hardwood). You can also find a lot of pine being thrown out bc people think of it as trash. I’m burning pine in my insert right now as I type. No worries.I can't believe that you had such BEAUTIFUL weather just yesterday!! We've been encased in mud and ice for what seems like years down here!

With the exception of my birch stash that i’ve tapped into to get a couple extra hours of heat out of a load, i burn almost exclusively jack pine. It’s everywhere up here, and is what i’ve got. I absolutely love it, and have had no issues burning it. It seasons quickly if CSS, catches super easy, and throws a lot of heat right away. No issues with build up in my chimney. The key for all wood is to season it properly to below 20% MC before you burn it. Burn the pine!!
