Default OT(ish): Larch as firewood

A branch has come off a larch at the end of our garden. I have a wood
burning stove so Im always on the look out for good wood to burn. The
question is, is it good, at least from a soot and creosote/tar point of
view?

Ive read that it burns €œhot€ which I guess is good from the point of view
of not clagging your chimney with residues but it seems very resinous and
Im not sure whether lots of resin equates to more creosote & tar
deposition. My gut feeling is that it will but maybe this is offset by the
€œhot€ burning?

Any thoughts?

Tim

if you burn it hot the resins will fully burn.
Ive found pine type wood to be good starter wood, but it is all over in
a flash.
