Is spruce good wood to burn in a fireplace?
Spruce will make great kindling- to light the fire. However, it will burn very quickly, produce few coals for long lasting heat, and produces a lot of creosote that will need to be cleaned from your chimney. It would be a good idea to keep a little dry spruce for kindling, but find a good hardwood such as oak, ash, or hickory for your main fuel wood

Is Sitka Spruce a good firewood for the home?
Fir and pine trees make good kindling for starting a fire but the pitch of this kind of wood creates more creosolt buildup which can cause your chimney or stove pipe to catch on fire. An occasional fire of pine wood is beautiful and aromatic, but short lived. Hardwoods such as maple or oak burn slower and heat better. Personally, I would never burn spruce in a home fireplace or stove. You do not want any creosote buildup.
