Semi OT - Pine Firewood
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. The quote: Some people say that pine should not be burned for firewood. This is not true. Pine can be burned for home heating. In fact, the heating value of many of the Southern pines is higher than the less dense hardwood species and equal to the medium density hardwoods like ash. Burning pine may cause more creosote deposits in the chimney because of the resin content in the smoke. However, creosote formation depends more on how you burn the wood than on the species you use. A slow-burning fire in an airtight stove will produce creosote regardless of species JOAT Don't e-mail me while I'm breathing. |
