On the plus side, cured pine usually has a brighter flame than hard wood and is prettier in your fire. Also pine is more likely to create the crackling fire sound that people enjoy. Probably your best bet is to use two pieces of hard wood and one piece of pine, and be aware that you will probably want to add one or two additional pine pieces before the hard wood burns away.
How do you get melted crayons off of a nice Not Rusted black wood stove in my home?
Crayons are basically wax. When the stove is cold, use a single edge razor blade to shave off as much wax as possible. Then place a brown paper grocery bad over the crayons, and press the bag with an electric clothes iron. As the bag develops a "wet spot" from soaking up melted crayon, shift the bag to a dry spot. Continue until you have soaked up all crayon, buff with a green nylon scrubber pad. BTW, the iron and brown paper bag work great to get candle wax out of carpet. Good luck, and keep the kids away from the stove.
