I live up here in the north east and all people brn is hard wood. If yo mention burning pine to anyone the standard answer is "yo will bild up creosote and burn down your house". I have started burning some pine that I have had split and stacked for 3 years and I like how easy it ts to start and get going. The pine will only last around 5 hours instesd of 8 to 9 for hard wood. Is pine really that taboo? If you do burn pine how long do you season it for?
