So how bout it what are the things to consider when one burns pine in a woodstove? Is it a matter of seasoning, a matter of cleaning the flu, or a matter of needing more of it to last the winter? Where Im from most people say that "you cant burn pine" that being said I would like to prove them wrong especially since people dont assign any value to pine wood around here.
Then "most people" are ignorant/misinformed. Dunno what you mean by "seasoning"- herbs & spices? :msp_unsure: Seriously, what's of interest here is DRYING, mostlikely air-drying; temp and air-flow are important.
Properly dried, pine will burn just fine; pitch can be a nuisance but has a lot of fuel value. Low wood density just means you'll be burning lots more volume of the stuff for a given heat output. (You
can mix pine with deciduous.)
If you have the storage space, don't tell THEM about pine as stove-fuel. Offer to take it off their hands and save THEM a dump run.
