Can You Burn Pine in Your Wood Burner?

Burning pine is dangerous! But what about in your outdoor wood burner? Is it even worth it?

Ever since I started heating with this outdoor wood burner I was a bit hesitant to start burning pine. You hear stories of people with chimney fires and house fires due to creosote building up after burning pine tree logs and so I wanted to steer clear of it. But, after getting a rather late start to wood collection for this winter (October) I really needed to burn whatever I could find and whatever was close by. So out of necessity I started burning all the pine I could get my hands on. No one wants it and it burns extremely well and hot!

I have found pine to be a great addition to some of the split hardwoods I have been finding and I see no risk of a fire since the entire unit is outside and made of solid steel. The chimney pipe is just a solid steel pipe about 48" long and if it catches on fire, well, awesome - more heat!
