softwood is horrible to use. The resin in it burns up and gums up in the chimney and can cause chimney fires.

Ya its free but also burns quick and doesn't put out enough heat.

Chop it, split it, dry it for a year and it’s fine. I’ve burnt huge amounts of pine in my Jøtul.

Brotherman, you burn what you've got. Doug fir and spruce are fine firewood and fine Christmas trees.
