I've decided that I really like burning white pine and prefer it to hardwoods, in some ways. I've always burned pine, but just mixed it in with other stuff. This year, though, I have about a cord of it split and stacked, separated from the other wood. Lately, we've been using it when my wife gets home from work to get the fire going and get the house heated quick. It sure works great for that - much better than oak. The oak lasts a lot longer, but the pine gives its heat up quick. Plus, give it an angry enough look and it catches on fire.
Anyone else do this? I guess I'm going to be looking for a few pines a year, now.
