* If it is wet, it is difficult to burn and creates a lot of creosote, the black gummy tar that clogs up your chimney... And if it is dry, it provides good heat, but burns more quickly than a hardwood like cherry or apple. Creosote is still an issue: the soot can really increase your chances of a chimney fire.... A regular chimney sweep is warranted, especially when burning pine.
* There's good news and bad news. The good news is that pine is a light wood and catches alight pretty easily; the bad news is that it doesn't burn for very long. So it's good to use pinewood as a base to get the fire going, and then to add a harder wood (depending on where you live and what kinds of wood are available).

∙ 14y agoContrary to popular belief, burning Pine does not cause any more creosote buildup than hard wood. A "cool" fire with any wood is what causes creosote buildup. I burn about a 50-50 mix of hardwoods and pine. I check my chimney twice a year and I've never (I repeat never) had any creosote buildup in my chimney. I have one of those high efficiency indoor wood burners in my living room. I always burn a "hot" fire. I heat entirely with wood. I've turn off my LP gas furnace. My wood burner recirculates the gases that would otherwise go up the chimney, and burns them up.
