Don’t burn that pine

Im going to bring some more to my house this week.. ill see how much i have left.. im going to give some to my neighbor .. hes out of wood..ill see what i have left..
I have a lot of pine on my property, A LOT. Between downed branches and the monster tree that fell across our driveway two years ago, I got so much of it. I mix in several splits of pine with each handful that I bring in the house along with hardwoods. If it's dry it burns hot and can motivate the denser woods to catch a good fire if they're in the stove together.

Top covered with good air flow, six months to a year depending on your climate.
I have some that i'm using a little after 6 months. Stuff is bone dry(laughable how light it is to pick up)
It's good to use to get a fire started as it will burn quickly and hot.
I’m able to get a 9 hr burn on scotch/white pine, 70 percent of my stack is pine, I had 8 big pines standing dead along the driveway, so already ready to burn and easy to gather.

I've been a proponent of burning pine, and would not give it a thought in a wood stove. That being said, since I cook in my masonry heater's oven with some regularity, I don't go out of my way for pine. It does give off a black resin that is not all that agreeable if food is exposed to it. Again, I wouldn't give it a thought in the stove, however, separating wood isn't a favorite past time of mine, so I'm not going to go out of my way to cut up pine--which is fine, since I think I only have a couple of them on my property at this point. Hemlock doesn't give me any problems in the oven though.
OAk's no good, it takes far too long to season. Ain't nobody's got time fo dat.
I typically get oak below 20% in a year. I typically don't bother with pine because it takes the same effort for less btus
I don't have access to an unlimited wood supply. So, I take what I can get within a reasonable driving distance. This Pine was only 7 minutes one way.
