We don't have Hemlock here. We have Balsam Fir. Terrible stuff. Burns like firecrackers. Branches are stiff and a PITA to limb. The bark has sap blisters. It stinks. I won't go near the stuff.

Good for kin'lin and starter pieces. Also good to mix with hardwood.

Burn pine and you'll grow hair on your palms and your teeth will fall out.
Don't do it man...and if some french lady named Vanessa stops by glairing at your chimney and asking to see your poplar just bolt the door.
j/k
Make sure it is real dry. One full year or so after split.

Thank You all for your opinions. As far as hair on palms, and fallen teeth , it is already too late. I think it was Czarnobyl.

Any pictures of needles or leaves . . . I'm better at IDing trees by doing a leaf ID. You can tell a spruce from a hemlock pretty easily . . . most spruce needles in this area are "pointed" and the needles tend to grow all the way around the branch tip. Hemlock, on the other hand, is notably smaller in length than spruce, the needles are more blunted and the needles tend to be flat on the branch tip.
