I have some pine that I would like to use as firewood. I have yet to
split and season these pieces yet. I am trying to find out if it is
really as safe as a hardwood to burn indoors in a fireplace. If not I
can burn outdoors in the bowl.



It is totally safe however don't burn Treated Pine lumber. The pine will
burn faster and will create more creosote which will require your chimney to
be cleaned more often.

I only burn hard woods and had my chimney cleaned for the first time in 20
years a few years ago. The chimney sweep removed very little residue.
