A few days ago someone stated in a thread that pine should not be
burned as firewood, because of the creosote buildup. Not necessarily.
The below quote was taken from he
http://www.courier-tribune.com/nws/f...ide011501.html Lots of info
on this, a couple minutes on google will turn up a bunch.

Here in the Yukon we do not have much choice: It's either pine and
spruce or poplar/aspen/cottonwood which are not worth anything. We
cringe at the thought of you guys burning maple and oak.

Most people have some kind of wood burning appliance and many heat
exclusively with wood, which is the cheapest fuel. The preferred fuel
is "firekill", wood from areas burned in forest fires. The wood is
already dry, but the soot makes it messy to deal with. Regular (once a
year) chimney cleaning is critical, and I don't think we have more
house fires than other places.
