Yes sir Have outdoor boiler aswell Pine , pallets , construction leftover, etc . I only use what I can get for free . I like you , use the daytime / nighttime wood term . Scrape the sides open the door , stuff hot burn , clean and good to go . 15 years I've been doing the same thing. Last I brought in , 85% already cut up , load and go , pile very similar to your pic , white pine unloaded dec 4 , aprox 30 pieces left today . Loading , saw , spilt , stacked , 8 hours ish , 6 weeks plus of heat , hot water , fam of 4 , 2200 sqft home 100 years plus old . The only downside to boiler is I wish I had it 20 years before !! Yearly maintenance cost of about 50.00 average in 16 seasons . Saws , gas , oil , splitter , etc average 75.00 a year or season . I use mine year round to heat water . Side note , if all you have is pine , poplar , spruce , soft woods if ya will , instead of 12 hours , or so between fills , for me it's about every 8 hours if windy / extreme cold temperatures. Thanks for passing on the facts . G n va
I like pine in my fire pit it burns great, last May, I had to cut up 16 spruce trees that were 45 years that blew down in the yard still had a lot more to take down that are damage or leaning over . Great video Jay
I've been preaching about the use of pine in my outdoor furnace for years but nobody would listen, lol. In fact, my furnace loves it. ( And so do I) I find hemlock the best actually. Plus it's a great way to get rid of wood that would otherwise go to waste. Take care
I LOVE burning red pine in my Classic 6048. Burns hot and catches immediately. Similar to you I use it during the day mixed in with some ash or oak. I have even heaved in some fresh cut red pine unsplit and full or sap. Depending on the outside temperature that thing will burn hot and boil for 2 days!!
Glad you love your classic! I love mine as well! Ive been tossing in two green pieces on the top for overnight burning and come morning they are left over and cooking great! Long live the classics!
The best type of wood is free wood. And I agree, I have a 5036 and it’s the best, it’ll eat anything I throw in it. I’m not getting a gasser, I don’t want to have to season everything for 2 years and cut to 16 inches. If mine starts leaking it’s getting sent off and rebuilt lol
We burn a good bit of pine in our woodstove. I've got some 200 year old Hemlocks on my property, they're over 2ft thick in diameter. Plus got a bunch of small little hemlocks that I burn when the wooly adelgid gets to them.
All we can find for wood around here is a bunch of spruce. All we have been burning in our new Central Boiler 560 HDX and it runs mint. Soft wood is 90% of the wood around us. It loves cedar too
Ohhhh cedar is nice! I had a few logs of cedar a few years ago and I digged that! This spruce was the first ive ever had through old faithful and it went nice!
All dry firewood burn , just burn faster them hardwood. Iiiiii iiiiii find soft wood burn hotter them some hardwood species. Good job jay on keeping the fire GO 😊
Keep burning buddy! When people ask if I want the a pine/spruce tree that fell, I always get it. Mix it in with hardwood for some pick me up. Creosote is creosote that comes from all the woods.
I have an old school OWB also. I burn pine or tulip Poplar most of the time. This year I have burned no hardwood at all. Oak is everywhere and the preferred firewood, but pine is throw away for most people. An OWB is pretty rare in my area, most people have a woodstove or fireplace, actually most people have no ability to burn wood at all, so they are suffering the high LP gas prices.
Around 25% of the wood I burn in my stove is white pine. Ill knock down a tree or two on my property every year. Good for the beginning and end of the burning season. As long as its below 20% moisture, run it. Also, howdy from your neighbor in the 207.
I get Blue Spruce for free. Good burning wood, and I like that the rounds don't weigh a ton! It's pretty wood, too- the heart wood is pinkish, with yellowish sap wood. Yard trees with lots of limbs, so it's full of pitch! I'm still surprised at how long a piece will burn.
Neither Spruce or Hemlock is pine. They are not even in the same genius. But, I burn whatever type of softwood I can get for free and so I agree with your message.
Indeed that was the idea. I label all soft woods "pine" I get corrected all the time but thats just how I see it. Red ,White, Hemlock, Spruce, etc to me thats soft wood aka pine lol
I like your new video today this was nice fire you did a really good job God bless to you guys love your video buddy I like your little wood stove and your worship too buddy
I used to worry about pine, u til i talked to canadiens and people out in northwest usa. 80% of the wood urning options they have are conifers. (Softwoods/pine/spruce/etc). They dont have the option of oaks, ash and whatnot so they burn what is available. Just add the powder to burn it off. I use pine in my 2022 classic edge 360 for day and hardwood at night. Great videos jay 🇺🇸👍🏻
when the weather isnt too bad and its a little warmer outside in winter i prefer pine in the fireplace because i just need this quick heat to get the house warmed up from the cold of the night that seeped into the house
Hey there! I have been burning pine in the Jotul in the shed and its great! Hot and fast heat which is what I want lol same idea you have to cut the chill out
Most of my wood supply this year is soft wood. It is seasoned though. You sure have a lot of white pine in your state, so you better have a good use of it after it's being milled. I've learned a new work tonight: Crackalackin!
I've been burning in my woodstove now for 3 years. One of my favorite woods to burn is cottonwood. It will pump out some serious heat! Sure I wouldn't buy it or sell it as premium heating wood. But I really do almost prefer burning the softer woods over oak.
Yes indeed! Ive been playing around with different woods in the wood stove in the shed and I like the pines honestly. Dry and fast burning which is what I want in cast iron for shorter periods of work!
I found the same with silver maple. Stuff burns like an inferno. This is just for an outdoor grill/firepit, but the soft maple will make you move back a ways every time, lol. Cottonwood burned well for me, too. Just not good for cooking, due to the smelly smoke, so I don't get much. I hand split, and it can be stringy and gnarly so there's that, too. Oak makes great coals, but it takes a long time to get there, lol. Not great when you're hungry- or when the days are really short.
Best firewood??? According to the U.S. Forest Service and several university forestry schools, white pine produces 15.9 million BTUs of heat per cord. On the other hand, white oak produces 29.1 million BTUs of heat per cord. White oak produces almost double the BTUs of white pine. Sure white pine is easier to handle. It's about 1/2 the weight of white oak. However, it burns about twice as fast as white oak. You tell me which one is better. I'll take white oak every time.
@@unriliable9817 I don't know where you are getting your information. According to the U.S. Forest Service, dry white pine (below 20% moisture content) weighs 2,250 lbs per cord. Dry white oak weighs 4,200 lbs per cord. Again, white oak is nearly double the weight of white pine.
Oak is much better. Pine burns up fast. Oak is hotter too. I’ve had pine fires and next morning no coals and I’ve had oak fires there was hot coals till late in the following day.
Hey Phil, This video was based on an outdoor wood boiler. In European nations they burn mostly softwoods for fuel and also on the west coast primary wood is doug fir and ponderosa. Pine is great in a wood boiler which was my premise of the video but obv there are better choices. I use seasoned dry split pine in my wood stove in my shop to heat it up fast. I can get the temp up the fasest with pine wood which is the goal in my shop. I understand the weight and heat levels but my premise is its overlooked but theres no reason you can mix it in with a boiler or wood stove.
Pine is fine!!!!!
👍
Sure is!
Yes chris pine is fine!! Like you always say it burns
Never really got into soft woods that much
Great to have handy during the spring and fall when you don’t need as much heat
Indeed! like the softwood for the days!
Yes sir
Have outdoor boiler aswell
Pine , pallets , construction leftover, etc .
I only use what I can get for free .
I like you , use the daytime / nighttime wood term .
Scrape the sides open the door , stuff hot burn , clean and good to go .
15 years I've been doing the same thing.
Last I brought in , 85% already cut up , load and go , pile very similar to your pic , white pine unloaded dec 4 , aprox 30 pieces left today .
Loading , saw , spilt , stacked , 8 hours ish , 6 weeks plus of heat , hot water , fam of 4 , 2200 sqft home 100 years plus old .
The only downside to boiler is I wish I had it 20 years before !!
Yearly maintenance cost of about 50.00 average in 16 seasons .
Saws , gas , oil , splitter , etc average 75.00 a year or season .
I use mine year round to heat water .

Hey Forest! Thanks for sharing your feedback! I am glad we are on the same page! Love the simple effort for weeks of heat!
💯 agree I use all the time in mine and burns hot
When I had my outdoor boiler I burned a lot of pine nothing wrong with that. Heat is heat and free is even better. Stay safe my friend
Free heat is for me LOL
I like pine in my fire pit it burns great, last May, I had to cut up 16 spruce trees that were 45 years that blew down in the yard still had a lot more to take down that are damage or leaning over . Great video Jay
Hey larry! Thanks for tuning in! Pine deff is good wood for a fire pit for sure! Id love to have 16 spruce trees for my machine to burn haha
Great videos Jay, I have the same exact boiler, your videos have been very helpful.
Glad I could help!
I almost could have a fire this morning at my place…….almost😂
My cb 5036 loves pine
They love it all!
Hemlock and Doug fir are awesome here in Washington state..
Exactly! Lot of people east coast dont realize that LOL
I've been preaching about the use of pine in my outdoor furnace for years but nobody would listen, lol. In fact, my furnace loves it. ( And so do I) I find hemlock the best actually. Plus it's a great way to get rid of wood that would otherwise go to waste. Take care
Exactly! No waste indeed! Burn it all my friend!

Oh yeah, I burn pine all the time on my 6048. I mix it in with hardwoods. No issues.
Oh yes!
All dry firewood burn , just burn faster them hardwood. Iiiiii iiiiii find soft wood burn hotter them some hardwood species. Good job jay on keeping the fire GO 😊
Indeed you are correct some soft woods will burn hotter but faster than the hardwood! Thanks for tuning in!
Keep Up YOUR OUTSTANDING WORK Sir 👍👍👌👌😇😇 Cheers 🍻🍻
Thank you, I will!
Keep burning buddy! When people ask if I want the a pine/spruce tree that fell, I always get it. Mix it in with hardwood for some pick me up. Creosote is creosote that comes from all the woods.
Exactly! No issues at all!
Fully seasoned, can’t go wrong with the soft woods mixed in.
Indeed! Fully or close to is key!
I have an old school OWB also. I burn pine or tulip Poplar most of the time. This year I have burned no hardwood at all. Oak is everywhere and the preferred firewood, but pine is throw away for most people. An OWB is pretty rare in my area, most people have a woodstove or fireplace, actually most people have no ability to burn wood at all, so they are suffering the high LP gas prices.
Yeah I cant be happier having the old school OWBs! Toss it in and go!
Pime is great. I have a gasification boiler and I'll burn anything in it. Pine, pallets, branches, stumps. It's all BTU's.
Indeed! Btus are for everyone LOL
Around 25% of the wood I burn in my stove is white pine. Ill knock down a tree or two on my property every year. Good for the beginning and end of the burning season. As long as its below 20% moisture, run it. Also, howdy from your neighbor in the 207.
Howdy neighbor! You got the right idea! Early and late season!
I get Blue Spruce for free. Good burning wood, and I like that the rounds don't weigh a ton! It's pretty wood, too- the heart wood is pinkish, with yellowish sap wood. Yard trees with lots of limbs, so it's full of pitch! I'm still surprised at how long a piece will burn.
Seriously they burn great! I tossed one in that was dry and it was litterer with limbs that sucker was so dense it barely split on the machine lol
Neither Spruce or Hemlock is pine. They are not even in the same genius. But, I burn whatever type of softwood I can get for free and so I agree with your message.
Indeed that was the idea. I label all soft woods "pine" I get corrected all the time but thats just how I see it. Red ,White, Hemlock, Spruce, etc to me thats soft wood aka pine lol
It's an old wives tale that pine causes extra creosote. As long as it's seasoned it's good to go, just like any other type of wood.
Indeed!
I like your new video today this was nice fire you did a really good job God bless to you guys love your video buddy I like your little wood stove and your worship too buddy
Thanks 👍
Pine is fine.
The stories of "your house will explode....". Dry pine is fine. In Scandinavia it's all they have.
Same with out west. Mostly dough fir and ponderosa
I heat my house and shop with Jack pine ,black spruce and white poplar . Central Canada heat for 8 months with wood.
Heck yes. It’s good wood indeed. I burn soft woods in my wood stove in my shed which burns hot and fast which is what I want

I do the same thing in my boiler indeed! Pine during day and good wood at night!

When we did Maple syrup, we burned almost nothing but pine in the evaporator. We went through about a face cord a hour and never had a problem.
Yeah makes sense for sap! I will be getting into that hopefully!
It is wood and it all burns. 👍🏻👍🏻
Indeed! Keeping warm is the goal!
America Larch {Tamarack}f you have this tree it is the best for those old boilers.
Im sure it would burn nice!
Think it’s just about time to make that wheel barrow a log cart and treat yourself to another new wheelbarrow!
I remember when this one was new haha
My homestead is where wheel barrows go to die LOL I always say "im going to be more careful of this one" 5 min later im throwing 45lb logs in it LOL
Looking good 👍. I think you need a new wheel barrow.
I think so too!!
Pine is fine!
Indeed Sir!
Ok so wait, is the hoodie part of the flannel or separate?
HAHA Bro its a flannel WITH a hood LOL mind blown!
A lot of O.W.B. owners are closet pine burners !
pc
HAHAH Yes Pat!
I mean even using pine in a wood stove isn’t that bad as long as you use it with other wood types
Indeed!
You say “This is Spruce Pine and it burns hot”. I’m confused…Spruce and Pine are 2 different species. Normally Spruce does not have the highest BTU.
Yes that was my fault! I refer to pines as one group I.E. Hemlock, Red, White, Spruce, etc those are all "pines" to me.
And if I have only pine, spruce and birch around? So pine is only option for me. Light, burn easily.
Pine is fine in an OWB. Just need some hardwood to keep coals going! Pine will eventually burn all the coals out!
Hemlock is the hardest evergreen wood in the north
Its a solid wood indeed! Tight ring growth too!
Hemlock is way better than pine. Pine is crap but if it’s free or cheap fine
Best firewood???
According to the U.S. Forest Service and several university forestry schools, white pine produces 15.9 million BTUs of heat per cord. On the other hand, white oak produces 29.1 million BTUs of heat per cord. White oak produces almost double the BTUs of white pine.

Yeah per cord but if you go on the Weight its nearly the same
@@unriliable9817 I don't know where you are getting your information. According to the U.S. Forest Service, dry white pine (below 20% moisture content) weighs 2,250 lbs per cord.
Dry white oak weighs 4,200 lbs per cord.

@@philstocks7859 because you still count in cords. If you would on kg like i sad you would see it
Oak is much better. Pine burns up fast. Oak is hotter too. I’ve had pine fires and next morning no coals and I’ve had oak fires there was hot coals till late in the following day.

Mixing it in is fine but all the time on its own, naah , I would pass , if that tree wasn’t dead as a door nail , u would be having issues ,
Indeed! I made sure to mention that being dry and ready to go
@@HomesteadJay lol 👍🏻
No it’s not. Can’t burn it in a stove. Don’t get as hot. Burns fast too
Yes you can burn in a stove.
