Am I Wasting My Time Splitting Pine?

- We've been splitting a lot of Pine firewood the last few videos, and I've been getting a lot of questions about it. I'll share the reason as well as finish splitting almost all the Pine I have left.

I heated an entire winter with pine in my outdoor boiler. It kept me warm.
I like having some pine in the mix for my woodstove. It works great for starting fires or to rekindle or give it a quick jump start and get some quick heat.
Totally agree Dan, most people wanting camping wants a mix, Take Care 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
I got tired of burning pine logs in brush piles, so I split a few cord last year. I've been selling a "firepit mix" of half pine/half poplar (or soft maple as I've ran out of poplar). It's been very popular for the backyard burning crowd, and I can save my oak, hickory, cherry, for the premium hardwood mix. It's worked out well. I've caught some slack on the Facebook... One old man even said it would "burn up like papper" (paper, I assume)...sure is more fun to burn $60 worth of pine, rather than 60 - $1 bills !
Here in the Pacific NW, Douglas Fir & Hemlock is the equivalent to Pine, and it's awesome for both camping and heating...
Sitka spruce too
I think the Doug Fir might have a little edge over the Pines round here....at least the bark on it...lol
@@Back40Firewood I'm in coos bay doug fir is great and the bark alone burns hot in my stove.
Thanks for taking the time for all the camera angles!
No question asked here, I agree great campfire wood.
Your spot on with your comments on pine. I use my smaller square splits and mix in 3 pieces in a bundle when I have some available. I mix it with ash or maple. Good videos, I watch everyday
Definitely worth your time, especially if your customers are asking for it. Pine is excellent camp wood. I do a few cords a year and it always sells.
It makes good fire pit wood and kindling if you're using a woodstove that you don't keep going continuously. You can also keep a few full size rounds as splitting blocks for using an axe.
I sell a lot of pine firewood to campers, and lake home people!! I also burn a lot of pine myself....love the smell, flame, and the crackle it makes!! Stay safe my friend
Nothing wrong with pine. I know people who use pine/spruce, poplar, and box elder in the shoulder seasons in their stoves. Makes a quick hot fire for when you don’t want or need a hot stove all day. Just something to take the dampness and coolness off. Certainly great as a backyard firewood. Cracks and pops. Smells good too. Thanks for the video.
I love burning pine in my backyard fire pit. It’s easy to split, I can use it for kindling, lights quick, smells great, pops, and isn’t super hot like a harder wood which is perfect for summer & spring hangouts around the fire pit.
We use pine all the time in our fire place as well as campfires. Doesn’t spit like spruce, and burns clean! Used it in my fireplace for over 20 years.
It seasons fast, it burns hot. During shoulder season you don't need a fire for all day. Just a few hours in the AM or PM. Pine is good for that.
Here in the rocky mtns pine and similar conifers are one of the main heating woods in our long cold winters! However splitting it small causes it to burn up too fast! Cottonwood is another of our main heating woods and you don't split it too small either! We just don't have a lot of hard woods in large supply!
We heat our home for 8 months with Jack Pine in central Canada , pine is a excellent heating wood and has a bad wrap . It’s a myth that It plugs chimneys and doesn’t give of great BTUS. Yes you need more then say a hardwood but def underrated as fuel. We burn 10 cords of well seasoned pine and get no more then a sour cream container of creosote . We also run a wood heating business installing, cleaning, inspecting wood heaters and selling firewood with a large amount of our client base burning pine with great success in Manitoba where it’s -40c steady .
LONG LIVE THE PINE! 🪵
Down in my area almost all recreation wood is bundled like 80% pine and 20% hardwood. Pine is easier to catch and does all the things you said. Not to mention it usually burns faster, which in my opinion is ideal for a backyard burn. I don’t know many people who wanna sit out with a giant oak fire waiting on it to burn down lol
Hi Dan - it's Big Rodders in Ireland. It's hard enough to source wood over here that you can't afford to be fussy or a log hound snob. The majority of wood I get is softwoods so I don't grumble. The Forestry Commision plant mainly Sitka Spuce.
Great video, nice camera work.😊
That's a cool splitter and yeah I split my pine too and I have a fire pit plus it gives me more wood to burn and I really like that splitter you are using that's cool I like your setup the six split anvil you have
We add a little pine or hemlock to our bundles . Makes good kindling and it better than letting it go to waste!
I have a ton of red pine if you want to come to Vermont and pick it up. Great channel keep up the good work.
It's great to mix in with shoulder wood ✌️
😊we burned Red Pine in “Winter Quarters “ in NH. Some in the pit and some in the lean to stove. We also cooked with it😊
I love burning pine in a firepit. Those pops and crackles are awesome 😊
hug from Portugal
Thanks for selling pine! It’s great for starting hardwood or like you say, recreational wood burning. Dries quicker too! Reno
Nice to be able to use it instead of waste it
Great campfire wood that is my winery what’s, Pine, Aspen and Oak mix.
I got 16 trees to finish splitting yet, am almost done splitting it
All depends on where one lives. Some people only have pine or juniper as options. It may not always be the best wood according to some... but the best wood is what you have available. We burn pine if we want a quick hot fire. We burn juniper throughout the night to keep a steady warm heat that will last the night.
It beats burning buffalo chips!
You make sure you have what the customer wants. That's what counts.
Even in SE Georgia people want pine for their outside camp fires!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Hi David my daughter lives by Savannah Georgia
@@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648 im in Statesboro
Just found your channel. Awesome! I had to take down a 90’ gray pine tree here in California. I have been using it for kindling ever since. But I also mix larger pieces in with my oak. It’s perfectly fine to burn in a stove if you know what you’re doing. People will tell you that it’s the pitch in the pine that makes it a problem to burn in a stove and that is total nonsense. It’s the water content.
I was raised on pine, we couldn’t get nothing else. I too use the pine for the fire pit and on lighting the wood stove.
Where I'm from basically pine is our main firewood and what most ppl are wanting
Where I'm from pine wood sell as good as alder . Splitting wood of any species is NEVER a waste of time I'm my opinion . Any wood is good wood. Love the content 👌that splitter is beauty
Ive got some Hemlock/ Pine burning right now. 38 degrees this am, house at 72 degrees. Pine is fine.
camp fire wood smell is awsome,, summer campfire lovers should eat it up dan
Makes good camp fire wood.
The Black Hills of South Dakota/Wyoming is 95+% Ponderosa Pine. We don't have a choice but, Pine is Fine.
Having an outdoor boiler and access to a lot of free pine about 75% of the wood I burn in a typical season is pine so I split a lot of it. Most of the pieces you do in this video would just be split in half and burned up with a few split in thirds or quarters.
Hello wood hounds to fine for my woodmaster furnace but great for fire pit 💪
Pine is my favorite campfire wood
Alot of people burn it in their fireplace and stove. They just clean stack/pipe more often.
All pine is fine, all wood is fine, doctor fine doctor Howard, doctor fine yuk yuk yuk.
I like to hear pine in the fire to
Give the customer what they prefer
I cut split and stacks tons of pine to heat my home with. Why? Because it's what's available around here. The mountains are full of thousands of beetle killed pine trees. It works fine for me. If I had access to other species I would probably use them but you gotta take what you can get.
I use pine to start fires in my wood and coal furnace as long as it's dry it doesn't hurt anything. I also use pine for camping or sitting around a fire. Save on the hard wood
had a big pine tree growing next to an ash tree all the limbs were tangled together had to cut both down it was a pine in the ash
No fire smells better then a pine cedar mix, plus you get to keep adding wood and poking the coals a lot. Perfect wood for my burning style
fine pine
Pine is fine!
In lots of the world it's the only wood !!!!!!
Would you think it’s good to mix into bundle wood? Newbie bundler asking🤔. If you added pine into bundles would you make sure everyone knows it ?
Great video too.
Sometimes I'll mix a piece or 2 into a bundle if it's mixed into the stack and only make all Pine for orders or upon request.
Pine is fine with me!
I like pine for outside firepit. Split away.
Pine is great for fire pit and outside cooking.
Pine is fine in any inside stove too. Lot of folks don’t have access to deciduous and burn only Pine.
I don’t use pine to cook over, it doesn’t taste good to me.
I had 95 pulp cord harvested last winter and as a result I have a lot of pine down that still needs to be cut and collected and split. No one has expressed an interest so it's going to lay in yhe woods and rot.
Pine burns fine
Wood snobs 😉👍
Pine is fine and preferred for campfires.
Pine is good wood. I'd love to have more of it. However, what grows around me most, is blue spruce. (for conifer wood) Which can be a knotty nightmare to split. When burned in typical firewood size pieces, it pops and flings embers everywhere, and often it slows down and smolders. Makes excellent kindling, though. The pine I've seen tends to be a lot straighter grained, and has smaller knots. Plus, nothing smells like a pine campfire!
Never understood the wood snobs, and their need to gainsay anything but their own favorite variety. Esp when making blanket statements about someone else's personal situation or business. Yeah, I know: that's the internet for ya. But sheesh- if folks would listen and pay attention, youtubers might not have to explain themselves for the 40th time re the same thing... ( I sell CAMPFIRE wood, and to folks with fireplaces. Bundles and loose bins. I also have a firepit of my own that I enjoy using. AND have customers that like a variety of different things- or just a plain old variety. What is, or isn't TEH greatest heating wood EVAH is not esp relevant...) Lol- it's like the size question that always comes up, over and over.
Plus, as a business, cheap+readily available+ easy to process+ dries fast= a nice, rapid return on your time. And if you have people ASKING for it... Who wants to tell a customer with cash in hand that you're out of wood- while standing in front of row after row of it, that's way too green to sell? (particularly if they don't care WHAT it is, they just want wood that'll burn)
I apologize for the rant, Dan.
No apologies needed here my friend...you are spot on! Thanks. 👍🍻😀
Pine is on Time
If you're sitting around a cold wood stove in the PNW where there isnt much more than pine or fir, go ahead and stay cold. I burn a ton of pine and only pine
Gotta get rid of it some how.
hi there could you please explain why you split pine . john couldn't help myself
I'll have my full thesis statement available online and for download soon....hahahahaha
Pine is fine! If it burns it earns. It’s the Rice Krispies of firewood, by itself, meh 🫤 add some marshmallows, then something magical happens. 😂😂😂 I guess I’m being sappy.
Hahahahahaha....ohhh my, where do I even begin with a reply to this....can't do it. lol
So the real question is, if a customer wants to know how much for a facecord of pine versus hard maple, what do you charge for each?
Same. The way I sell in smaller quantities it is all priced the same.
@@Back40Firewood Good deal! Soft wood is lighter to tote and easier on the equipment. Reno
Anyone bitchin about burning pine doesn't know how to manage a fire box...enough said.
Pine is fine.. The funny thing is, I sell pine in the summer for as much as I do for oak in the winter. Go figure....
Yep, same here...I sell for same price as well.
Pine is fine especially if that’s all you’ve got
HAY ( D ) GOOD TO SEE YA PROMOTIN' PINE... I LIKE PINE, BURNS GOOD, SMELL'S GOOD, AND SOUNDS GOOD... SOUNDS LIKE THE MAKIN'S OF A GOOD EVENIN... ALTHOUGH FOR HEATIN' THE OLE HOMESTEAD, YA KINDA NEED SOMETHIN' A LIL MORE DENSE, LIKE OAK OR SOMETHIN' IN AND ALONG THAT CONSISTENCY... BESIDES WITHOUT PINE, YOU HAVE NO SOL... I'VE NEVER SEEN PINE DO ANYTHING WRONG, SO I DON'T SEE WHY THEY REFER TO IT AS BEING KNOTTY... OH WELL, WE GOTTA BE OUT BY THE 22nd, OUR DERAM HAS COME TRUE... STAY COOL BROTHER... PEACE...
Woooooooo Congrats my friend!!! The 22nd, wow.....that's awesome news! I thought you'd like the Pine getting a little shout out...the Pine is ohhh so fine! 👍🍻😀
Do you think you are wasting your time splitting pine?
I think you just wasted your time leaving this comment. 😆
As you know OWBs dont descriminate which wood goes in LOL
Hahahaha...yep, mine gets all the big knotty ugly stuff and not once has complained! LOL
@@Back40Firewood Same hahah burning them as we speak haha
I don't care what kinda of wood it is if I can sell it its good wood so pine is fine
Would never burn pine in my fireplace fire pits or outside ok
Out west they burn pine.
You guys are spoiled back there we don’t have that luxury of choosing different wood out west
At the price of fuel split all the wood and burn it. A warm wife is a not bundled up wife and that my friend is a great reason to burn everything lol.
Hahaha...yes, a most excellent point. 👍🍻😀
Nothing wrong with pine for recreational wood. The only thing it’s bad for is your gloves and clothes, haha. - Dick
If you are in the US South, that would be a waste, no one would buy it., but for fire pit use, it is fine. Pine is considered a trash wood, but that is southern yellow pine, not red pine.
Dan or maybe Daniel,shifty Amazon Amanda can handle anything you could throw at her behind every man there is a better woman
Nope- Pine is Fine
If you're selling campfire wood, why would you sell hardwood? Here in Maine that's blasphemy! Hardwoods should be burned in woodstoves and wood boilers only! Lol. I sell 30-35 cords worth of premium red pine every summer, it's definitely the best camp firewood in m opinion!
Yep, I separate out all the Oak and sell that during heating months. Everything else gets mixed together for rec wood. 👍🍻😀
Pine is a colossaly excellent firewood. All this negative nonsensei talk about pine is ill advised and a waste of bandwidth.
That's what I thought at first.. then everytime I made some pine it would sell in a couple days.. now I want 200 cords of pine for my summer burners
Wood yard is looking good. There is nothing wrong with pine, good for heating and camp fires. If you have access to it and customers request it or you have other needs for it. Then you are not wasting your time. 🪵😎👍
