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.
