Pine is honestly fine indoors as well. Many parts of the country only have soft woods available to burn (Pine, Fir, Spruce etc) and they are fine, you simply have to burn more. Most chimney soot comes from burning wet wood so it will accumulate from hard woods as well. There can be more sap in certain species of pine but if properly seasoned this is a minor issue. Burn it hot and clean your chimney regardless of what you burn. Personally I burn mostly oak but have no issues mixing in various soft woods including some Pine.
This is EXACTLY the video I was looking for! I have a ton of pine on my property, and unlike the black cherry and oak and other hardwoods that are growing in hilly areas, the pine is all out on a nice lying field, easy to get to. I have wondered how long it would take to dry if I split and stacked it. I dropped my first big pine tree two months ago, and I will start splitting it soon. Great video!
I burn about a cord of pine mixed in with my hard woods for years now. Makes a nice fire. If you let it sit in the round for 3 months then split there is no stickyness.
We are in SW Va. We mix the white pine with hardwood and have no problems it just seems to produce less BTU. We use the eastern red pine just for kindling. It's harder to work with and takes longer to dry. Just depends what is available in a given area i guess. Informative video. Thanks.
I remember that load, it was over 50% moisture. I figured it would still give a number up around 20%. So thats really good, dried fast. My guess is the resin doesn't matter much for drying. Kenny
Im surprised it took that long to dry although it was fresh cut when you got it . Alot of the pine i have has ben sitting in log length for up to 6 months before we cut an split it an most of the time within a week or so of being split its ready to burn . Biggest thing to remember with pine is to stack it within a few days if not it will grow this white fuzzy mold on it if you just throw it all in a big pile . Great video Jerimia by the way will you an the wife be going to the Paul Bunyon show ?
I mix pine in with my bundles and stacks without issue. The majority of each is hardwood but a little pine mixed in helps stretch the hardwood. Pine is a nice addition to any campfire. 😁
I sell pine only here in southern Maine, about 35 cords worth of bags and roadside stand racks a summer. My customers love it. I'd never waste premium hardwood for a campfire. Pine is amazing! Like your demonstrating here, the turnaround time and dry time of pine is unmatched You do have premium drying conditions there with the racks being out in the open in the sun. I've found that Pine is finicky when drying, if you stack it in a damp/wet in a place with no sun, it will produce a weird fungus after a few months
Hey Jeremiah, that is quick turn around for sure. I think I would burn pine in a pinch, but I worry about build up in my stove flue from the sap. Keep up the good work!
Hey Jeremiah, I was surprised to see that it was dry in such a short time. That's good it's dry, now it can be sold this year still. The squirrels have new hiding spots for their walnuts where you pulled the pieces out of the stack. 😅
The late spring was so warm and dry for me that I had 30% oak dry in a month. Good sun and a constant breeze. No rain and very low humidity sucked the moisture right out of it.
I burn pine too, but my issue is the pine borers that basically make it punky and just sawdust in a few months. We have white pine too but the Carolina (we call it jack pine) get really light and punky from the beetles.
Nice job Jeremiah. That is amazing that pine dries that fast. I don’t have much pine, but I have tons of balsam. Balsam burns fast but hot. We have been burning balsam for years. I try to only burn balsam during the day and evening, not at night dampened down. You are correct with the sap. I pick a couple more stained shirts and when they get tons of sap on them burn them. I have a question ,we just put our first video for our channel out yesterday. We don’t have a comments area but 14 subscribers. Our we missing something? The channel is Club Dora Outdoors and Firewood. Let me know if you think we are missing something. Thank you
Ive had a chimny fire bwfore and damn nearly lost my home as we were not cleaning it afternwinter ,a sheet of metel saved us put in front of the fire place blocking apl air going in it smothers it in a second withbthis big *womp* sound pine is fine but clean and use othwr stuff too🎉
We have plenty of dead pine that we burn in our camp fires at camp. I've been cutting them into 4 foot length and let them dry for a year I guess I'll have to check some of them out.
I take in pine or spruce wood since I have some people that love it for campfires. One thing I've noticed is try to cut the rounds and leave them sit for a little time and then when splitting they aren't so sappy compared to fresh cut.
I cut 3 White pines and hauled them all in as saw logs this past week. Ruined a pair of gloves just getting that accomplished! Having such an abundance of better hardwoods. I have never felt the time/labor was worth the efforts for no longer then it burns or heat that it produces, but it is just fine!👍
That stuff dried in a hurry. I’ve got some that’s been cut for over a year it should be good to go lol. I guess I’m really cool I’ve got the General and the TopTes.
Sounds Dry!!! Trick is getting pine that is straight and clear. Is the sap mess worth it? When you bundle this Pine up, will you mix it with other species or keep the bundle all pine?
All the stuff with knots went in my personal campfire wood. I think it’s worth it, I’m going to try to sell it in face cord quantity first. Thanks Brent👍👍
That is awesome! I guess it just depends on what species it is? I have some Pine that has been split for over two years and a good percentage of it is still sticky and puts of black suet when it burns🤷♂️ I’m still in a sticky situation with mine🤣 Take care Jeremiah 👊🏻☀️🍻
They could burn it inside but I personally believe that pine should be burned outside only! I think it’s a matter of opinion to be honest Tom Thanks for watching brother!!👍👍
Not surprising with such small pieces... But in order to use pine for heating without overfiring stoves, larger pieces are generally required to get a steady burn with larger fuel loads. Larger pieces, especially those with bark still on them, will take 6-12 months.
@@outdoorsinthe608 When I lived in the Sequoia National Forest I had a store that would buy 4 cords a year from me. They burned pine exclusively. Didnt want oak or anything else unless it was for bundles to sell at store. Just gotta find the right people who like Pine. Most people are afraid of it for some reason. Burns just fine when dry like in your video! my best advice is lower price by like 10-15 bucks a face cord and sell as outdoor bonfire wood and dont advertise what kinda wood it is unless the customers asks
@@emwoodservices I hate to lower the price because it takes the same amount of work to make it as the others, but I just might have to. Thanks for the advice 👍👍
@@outdoorsinthe608 I feel that 100%%%% think of it this way, when I was selling it in the mountains I had to go get wood permits , fell the tree, cut into rounds haul back home, split, stack wait to dry then deliver. And that was for 175 a cord. If your getting the pine from tree service like I am now that saved a lot of time and effort and gas if you really think about it. 60$ a face cord is still 180$ a cord. If your not comfortable with that try 67$ a face cord that would be 200 a cord even. But 67$ is a weird number haha hope to become friends on here brother 🙌🏻🙌🏻 all love a positivity your way
@outdoorsinthe608 : lol 😆 there is a difference. I just made plans to do something cutting with a friend in the next few weeks. The last time I was at this pile, there was cypress, pine, and fir all in it with some chestnut too..
I strongly disagree. If you burn southern yellow pine in a fireplace or stove you will end up with a creasolt fire because of the turpentine the wood contains even if dry
I burn pine I don't know wood But for me I burn anything in Outdoor boiler If it was me I sell it if I was selling wood Should I have a good day to say safe
Hey Jeremiah , 3 months is really good . I think the yellow pine takes longer to dry . Nothing wrong with pine . We have a lot of popular here and I put some in my bundles . 👍🏻🇺🇸🪵

Very true, definitely gotta keep the chimney clean! This pine sure burns fast. Thank you!!👍👍
I’m a fan of good dry pine.
It burns great but a little fast!👍👍
I pay my bills thanks to pine brother pine is great!
Pine is great! 👍👍
Pine is fine with me too Jeremiah! Makes a really good fire fast!
Take care,

For sure Brandon! Take care brother 👍👍

You won’t be disappointed Tony!!👍👍

That's great Jeremiah, ready to sell this fall! 👍
Definitely! Thanks Terry👍👍
Dry pine just in time for fall campfires, have a great weekend and be safe 👍💪
I think that’s awesome!! Thanks Ken👍👍
Great video!! That’s some good useful information there!
Thank you sir!!👍👍
Nice update Jeremiah. I actually just pick up my first 2 loads of pine yesterday. So I'll let ya know how mine goes
Awesome can’t wait to here how it works for you Brian! Pine is fine!!👍👍
Makes sense, pine is less dense so more air inside the wood and more surface area for drying.
For sure!👍👍
I mix pine in with my bundles and stacks without issue. The majority of each is hardwood but a little pine mixed in helps stretch the hardwood. Pine is a nice addition to any campfire. 😁

I’m going to try to sell is as campfire wood. I’m glad you got your chimney fire out before it was to late! Thanks for watching👍👍
Not much desire for pine among my customers, but I love pine! There are a lot of firewood snobs on my area.
I’m hoping to sell it for cheaper campfire wood… we will see👍👍
We have plenty of dead pine that we burn in our camp fires at camp. I've been cutting them into 4 foot length and let them dry for a year I guess I'll have to check some of them out.

You have some busy squirrels in the wood yard. Pine is fine and dry!
For sure!👍❤️👍

One reason I enjoy pine.. dries fast! I know if I cut the the tree early spring it’ll be ready for fall bonfires!
Tyler
Very true thanks Tyler!!👍👍
Pine is fine!!! I like burning it outdoors, I have a few people that prefer it too so we can save our hardwoods for heat 💪
Definitely an outdoor wood! Thanks Jack👍🇺🇸👍

I sell pine at my firewood stand. No doubt, pine is fine!

Almost, exactly three months. Is that like an alternative fact?
Sure you could look at it that way. Within two days of being three months.
When you sell that pine is it for outdoor recreational use or can people burn that inside since it’s down around 14% ?
They could burn it inside but I personally believe that pine should be burned outside only! I think it’s a matter of opinion to be honest Tom Thanks for watching brother!!👍👍

Completely agree Peter!👍👍

Yes I have seen them👍👍
I get pine once in a while, and I just mix it with three fir I get.
