Red pine

Good morning, any folks burn Red Pine or Virginia Pine. I can cut up a few cord of each for nothing and was just wondering if anyone had any experience. As much as I enjoy wasting my time I don't want to sit on 8 cord of wood that's a pain to burn.
Thanks

We have a fair bit of Red Pine in my area. It burns well, it burns quick, but it does not throw off a lot of lasting heat. OK for a wood stove, it will produce fast heat on a cool fall morning. For an OWB, same work and less return than some of the better species. I would burn it if it was delivered to my boiler. Not sure I would want to invest too much work into it though.

Free is good plus you always need bonfire wood, at least I do! Then you don't have to feel guilty burning your good wood.

Nothing wrong with burning pine.. I will say though..In the warm weather.. Pine doesn't keep the the hot coals like hardwood does..But hey if your getting it for free..Take it!..

I have burnt it. It doesn't have the btu' of oak, but will keep you warm. If you have easy access use it. I mix some elm or oak in with it to hold coals better.
