I mostly burn hardwood because that’s mostly what grows on my land. Having said that I absolutely love burning pine, it smells great. It burns hot, and heats up the house quickly in the off-season and does not make any more creosote than hardwood.
You nailed it as long as its well seasoned theres no issue! I burn pine in my shop stove and it burns fast and hot and gets the place up to temp quickly much faster than the hardwoods!
Really enjoyed the intro and new banner....really stands out!! Good for you to take some time off to spend with the family....gotta do that!! I burn quite a bit of pine but there usually rounds!! The slab wood I usually get is hardwood because there nice fat slabs and the pine is typically really thin and wouldn't make good boiler wood!! My pine rounds are whatever I can't send down the road to the papermills for pulp!! Stay safe my friend!!
I never understand boiler users who rail against using pine (or other soft woods). I love adding some to mine and I heat with more of it in the fall/early spring. Some states are primarily pine states, so it's not like they have a choice! Good stuff, brother!
Exactly! Nh has a lot of red and white pine and also hemlock. My land itself has about 50 percent pine so if I can season it im burning it lol I know you know cause you have the same "style" wood boiler lol
I burn a lot of pine and always have. I practice normal chimney maintenance and in 25 years, I have never had a creosote problem. I live in Georgia, where we have scads and scads of pine firewood. So for us, it looks like pine for years to come. Incidentally, I like your new channel intro. This is my first visit, so I have no idea what the old intro looked like. I think I may be your first new sub.
Thank you Rob! People who complain about pine never burned it correctly. You are spot on DRY pine and a clean chimney is key for success! Thanks for watching hope you enjoyed!
I burn alot of pine probably around 85 percent in an indoor wood stove that is also in a trailer house. I check the chimney about every 2 weeks never have more then a pie plate full of creosote in a run of uninsulated stovepipe 14 foot with 3 elbows. Good seasoned wood is the key. I am in northwest Wisconsin. I have access to all the major hardwoods but I sell that to the wood snobs. From 2 sawmills on the area I can get pine slabs for between 5 to 10 dollars for a 4' by 4' by 8' bundle 10 foot to 20 foot long bundles are a bit higher priced. 2 other sawmills that are 60 to 80 miles south of me pay me 200 dollars a semi load to take pine slabs and they bring 5 loads a week between the 2 places. I have several bandsaw mills that work on resawing the slabs into useable lumber or palletstock. Remember slabs are the outside of the tree grades normaly run higher then box store lumber is. Like the new intro.
Hey Jeff! Thanks for tuning in and sharing! SEMI truck loads? Now I wish I could get a few of those in here lol I am getting (hopefully) a grapple load next year from kevin. He has a huge project coming up and will set aside enough for a log truck hopefully. That way dad with his bobcat and I can load the blue saw horse I have and cut and restock the slabwood pile! Glad you like the new intro and thanks for the feedback!
Talk to a logger that's hauling in your area. Most would be willing to haul slabs back cheap because it's almost the same fuel cost as empty to go back home. We process around 2000 full cord of slabwood 200 semi loads give or take a year. Out of that about 300 full firewood 4x4x8 foot cords are produced. The other 1700 cord is pulled as lumber mainly used for pallets just because of length of stock. All of my equipment is electric ran off of solar had to eliminate fuel costs. We are not grid tied solar either had to make that point many times to both the electric company and the county. 1 wants cheap electric the other tax revenues from fuel. Keep up the good work and don't let the nah sayers get you down
I love splitting pine! Don't even have to hit it, just drop the axe from chest height, and 9/10 it pops apart! I Use it as campfire wood, both as kindling, and as a turbo boost for when the hardwoods do what they do and go into low and slow mode. I'm in W. NY- TRY and find anyone, aside from roadside stands, selling anything BUT hard hardwoods... Nothing in the world smells like a pine/spruce campfire!
Yeah im sure you saw how easily that split lol most of this is cut offs from premium timber frame logs so there are little limbs/knots so this dry straight grain splits just by looking at it lol thanks for coming on by!
Just had a tree service from out of town doing work down the hill for a neighbor. My son stopped to ask him if he was willing to bring us some wood chips. He was planning to drive them back to his home town 25 minutes away. He jumped at the chance to dump them 2 minutes away. I asked him about the wood when he came to dump the chips and he said he’d bring us some of that too. Ended up getting 4 loads of chips and about 10 or 12 mature pine trees and a few decent size hardwood trees. All I have to do is cut it up, split it and stack it. Free wood is free wood and will keep me warm just as well as expensive hard wood I could pay to have delivered.
I ran a tree service for a guy for 2 years....we sold the good hardwoods for firewood and we used all the pine for the boiler....the boiler supplied 2 houses...we never split it either just seasoned a year or 2 and cut up in chunks
Yep, a match stick! Where I live, we only have pine and other conifers. Only way I can get a fire to last all night in my wood stove is to crank the stove up very hot, then put big rounds of unseasoned pine in it, and close the damper. Fire burns cooler and slower, and catalyst burns the smoke as secondary fuel so that it doesn’t end up coating the stove pipe with creosote. If I don’t start with a very hot fire, the green wood won’t catch. If I don’t use green wood, the stove is cold by morning.
Good stuff! Its perfect to mix in. Whats nice too is that the pine relights easy when the damper opens up which helps the larger rounds re catch too lol
I have mostly Ponderosa pine and California Back Oak on my place, and I burn at least 80% pine. As long as a guy is not allergic to getting up on the roof once in a while to sweep the chimney, it is just fine. If I had more Douglas Fir, I would certainly prefer that, but in my neck of the woods pine will do. The bonus is that the chunks with branches are usually quite pitchy and burn like napalm.
I like to burn PINE too. It produces HOT red coals and puts out great heat. For some you early learning stuff about wood, it's not the flames that put out the heat, it's the red coals. Pioneers burned pine and it was they had depending on where they settled. GOOD VIDEO Jay.
Hey Larry. Pine is a great wood indeed! Some Of the best pine to burn for firewood is out west in the ponderosa pines. Hemlock is good too as it has a tighter density than regular white pine! Either way I burn it all hahah
I use hemlock and hard wood I get by the cord, my hemlock is 20$ a ton and I just have to cut it into pieces, it’s all slab wood (live edge) from mills. And I just split it down and I have indoor burner, primary source of heat. When it’s single digits outside I can keep the main part of the house 70-80 degrees.
I live in the west, east of the Cascade Range. There are many types of pine west and east of the Cascades, but the only pines considered good firewood are tamarack and lodge pole. Firewood is rated here by heat output, accessibility and availability. Juniper has always been the best non-hardwood, but the best of it is almost gone. Oak is easily accessible on the west side of the Cascades, but not much on the east slope Tamarack and Larch is almost as good and is available in places. Next would be Lodge Pole and is readily available. The rest of the Pines including pine limbs are garbage in comparison. Sort of like the answer to food, "It will make a turd". They will make a fire if you keep them dry, but you have to stand a little closer to the stove! Good red juniper doesn't absorb moisture so you can stack it outside without a problem. There are a number of hardwoods west of the Cascades that are excellent wood. Oak and Madrone are probably the most popular hardwood because of their availability, but mahogany is just as good, but much harder to use and to find in abundance. If you can find Alder it is a great firewood as well.
Like all your videos. I burnt a lot of slabs like this for the first 3 or 4 years I had our boiler. They were free and very fast to cut up so it was fine. They work great for day time and when it is not super cold out. Since they have run out I burn a lot less wood now. I actually use about half hardwood and half hardwood for the colder months and it works great.
That is awesome! They are a nice offset for sure! I consider them "free" to me as they are way easier to source and what not! I would rather burn all the slabs each year then go through all the hardwood lol
I love at i like your new video today you did a good jop on your video we have a good new year good Christmas love your video buddy this was nice fire you have going buddy 🔥
You burn the wood that's readily available in abundance where you live. Where I live, pine is actually quite scarce and I burn hardwoods. Each wood has it's virtues and it's drawbacks. Elm is more dense than pine and doesn't need as much time to season. But, it's a bear to split by hand. Some pieces are tough for even a log splitter. Pine is easy to split. But it has to be very thoroughly seasoned or you'll end up with a creosote mess. Once you get used to a certain wood, that's the best for you.
Couldnt agree more with you! We have about 50 percent pine forest and we also have the sawmill connection so pine fits the bill sometimes. To me the pine is worthless so id rather burn all my pine each year then the hardwoods since the hardwoods are harder (no pun there) to come by hahah.
I burn a lot of pine in my outdoor furnace plus a lot of dead Elm. The problem with only burning pine is it doesn't leave many coals, so you have to burn it with some hardwood too.
In washington. We have oak madrona fir pine any many many others. I think fir is the best wood. It is in abundance the cure time is one season. I work full time an this past year sold 300 cord as a side hustle. Id still pick fir over the oak or madrona. Majority of people dont have room to store wood for multiple years.
If you want a chimney fire, use pine. A good firestarter. But the resin is a hazard for every chimney if you use too much of it for too long without cleaning.
I'm in my 70's been around wood burning my whole life. If I'm spending my time cutting firewood, it damn sure isn't going to be pine. Although I did make my wood shed from pine,lol. Interesting video.
Pine is fine - in case you are satisfied with big amount of soot, maybe is easier to your clean boiler, then my 8 m high chimney, or if you havent another choice
I have been told by one of the companies who manufactures gasification wood boilers the they love pine so do you think you would do a gasification boiler when this one dies? When I finally get one I’m going to get the stainless steel version because it has a 20 year firebox warranty! The one brand I like is the wood gun and they say that it will burn wood of up to 30% moisture!
I will go gasification as I can not "legally" get a non gasification unit as they are deemed "commercial use only" which can be be worked around but I feel like I would like to step up to the gasification units. I have learned a lot and have a decent amount of equipment now I feel I can have enough split seasoned wood both pine and hardwood for one of those units.
In all fairness as a woodburner here in the northeast for 50 plus years we forget the pine, too hot, likely to start a chimney fire.. BTU's, lots, longevity not so much. Great to start a fire with..that's about it, peace.
Good morning, and Happy New Year. How often do you empty your ashes from the boiler. I seem to have a much deeper ash/coal bed than you do. I have a Central Boiler Classic 5036.
Morning Rob! It depends, The machines dont mind a ash bed but keep in mind the water jacket goes under the "floor" of the firebox so 8 inches of ash is going to be hard to transfer heat through " in theory" versus 4 inches of hot coals sitting right on the metal. The ash is an insulator for moisture as well so even though you have a on and off fire if you have 8 inches of ash sitting lets say in the back of the machine with no coals on top you could be holding moisture. This is what I was told from CB. I keep my fire/coal bed all before the "baffle wall" the top part of the firebox that comes down the lowest. If that makes sense. To answer your question lol I burn a lot of pine and pine is ashy so sometimes ill do a few shovel loads every couple of days. That works too. You can lighly push the coals/fire to the back of the machine being careful not to disturb the ash and then scoop some out. I did a video on this. Check it out ua-cam.com/video/2m9uv6xaVlA/v-deo.html
@@HomesteadJay Hey Jay, thanks for the response.... it makes sense, so I will try lowering the ash bed and give that a try. Thanks again, keep it up with the videos, and I will keep watching!
Here in eastern Washington we like tamarack and fir. The ponderosa pine here is knotty and hard to split and leaves more residue than tamarack. Pine soots up your chimney faster as well.
Pine does not soot up quicker than hardwood! That’s an old wives tale and you have fallen into the 🪤 trap. Nothing is worse than oak and I mean nothing!!! Sorry for revealing the truth to you.
The best firewood is the firewood you can get for free. I have tons of avocado wood. It's a hard wood, but it burns faster than other woods, but it burns hot. Also, I don't split firewood because it's the wood from an entire tree that died, some small branches, some larger trunk pieces. The larger logs burn WAY longer than the same logs split into smaller pieces. The largest logs are no more than around two feet in diameter. Obviously, if all you have are huge trunk pieces, you have to do some splitting.
Yes free is for me as well! I did a video on that larger rounds burn slower I get about 40% more burn time from an unsplit round versus full split! Thanks for tuning in!
If you are going to split alot, get a splitting axe. Loose the maul. I used one of those for years. Splitting Axe like a Fiskars or a Hybrid will split those logs much easiers.
Not really. There are really good mauls available, like 3 kg Mueller and 5 lb Scandinavians, that put toys like Fiskars to shame. IMO. Axes cut, mauls split, FWIW.
I disagree. The maul and the axe are two different animals! The "splitting axe" versus the "splitting maul" are two different animals. This 8lb maul will split way more than my 4lb splitting axe. They are two different animals
@@HomesteadJay IME an 8 lb maul is heavier than optimum. 6 lb is close, but 5 lb is about perfect. 3 kg is quite workable. Probably more important is head shape and edge.
I watched your video on throwing loose wood into your trailer and then you stacked it. I have a 8 foot by 5 foot by 3 feet tall trailer if I just throw the wood in it that a half cord or more you think??
Well a stacked 4' X 4' X 8' pile is exactly a cord so your trailer is rougly 1 cord inner dimension so loose throwing id say a half cord maybe a touch over!
Pine species generally have a higher BTU content per weight than hardwoods at same moisture level depending on pitch content. But pine is less dense, so even though it cuts faster a greater volume of wood needs to be handled, thus it is often considered to be less desirable. Also, it burns quickly leaving no coals so will not hold heat in most stoves used here in the U.S. Pine use excels in masonry heaters sometimes called Russian stoves that originated in northern regions where only softwoods are available. Here the heat from a hot quick fire is captured in the masonry mass and radiates back an even heat from one or two firings a day. Because these stoves are only fired wide open, thus extremely hot, creosote is not a concern.
when you say wide open masonry stoves.....what about wide open fireplaces? can you elaborate? I have been burning pine here in south jersey for years, I burn it hot and no real creosote build up. the fireplace goes through wood pretty fast, i dont use it as a primary heat source, but use it during very cold periods and on holidays. I tend to mix it with hardwood, but I dont see much problem with it.
@@harryharry3193 Go look up Rocket Mass Heaters. It is not the heater that is "wide open" it is that the heater is burned while "wide open", which means it is configured for maximum airflow and the fastest and most complete combustion, and therefore the most efficient burn. The heat is captured and re-emitted over time, so the short actual duration of the burning isn't a downside. It's just like charging a heat battery.
Compared to fir, pine burns about 20% more wood than fir. I know hardwoods burn more efficiently. But compared to other softwoods, pine burns too darn fast, I just don't want to cut more wood than needed. I'm lazy.
Hey is your outdoor Wood boiler loop running to a heat exchanger to heat your oil boiler loop in your house and you use the oil boiler loop to heat everything? (I suppose I’m asking if there are two separate loops that are connected via a heat exchanger)
That is correct! So when the OWB is running it heats the loop that would normally be heated by the oil furnace. During the summer when the OWB is not running I close those valves and shut the pumps off then the oil resumes any heat demand.
Also if the OWB burns out there is a "switch" that will trigger the oil to turn on which will "reverse the polarity" of the process and take heated water from the home side and run it through heat exchanger which will keep the owb loop water at 130 degrees ( not freezing and circulating ) Every time I explain it its still so fascinating to me lol
It's a misconception that pine will put extra cresote in your chimney compared to hardwoods. As long as it's properly seasoned it's not going to add anymore cresote compared to hardwood. The whole myth of pine putting out more cresote is because there due tend to be more chimney fires after burning pine, but that's because pine burns super hot, and does tend to crackle shooting off little embers, both of which are causes of igniting the cresote already in your chimney. It burns great, but it's not very dense so you'll go through it quick
Hey Rich! You are correct! Ive burned 4 cords of pine this season and just cleaned the chimney ( next video coming out ) and it was mint and had no buildup! The key is seasoned wood indeed like you said!
At 6:40, why does moisture content does not matter is a non-gasification stove? Are the gasifier units more sensitive to the temperature lost to water vaporizing? Thank you
This is debated a lot here on this channel but regular wood boilers like mine are a NON gasification. Meaning you can burn "anything" in this unit including green wood as long as you have adequate coal bed. The gassification units are more picky and generally require a more seasoned wood as they are more specific in the wood burning process. The gasification units have a down draft style firebox so the fire goes down instead of UP like mine, once the fire goes down its injected with air and the heat from the wood and gasses is what heats the water. My unit a lot of the heat goes out the chimney. The exhaust is still hot on the gasser units but its basically squeezing every once of energy out of a stick of wood in that process. So burning green wood in those units makes them more picky. In a nutshell!
@@HomesteadJay Thank you for the reply, that led me to watch a few videos on gassifier units. All new to me. I only have experience with indoor stoves. Pretty fascinating stuff.
@@kentvandervelden Yes wood boilers are a neat idea for sure! Fire has been heating man for long time so its cool to see how now we can get so much energy out of wood! I love everything about it
Not sure why this is such a big issue, most people do not have an option of softwood/hardwood either due to cost or availability. Most burn what they can get their hands on.
ALL wood contains about the same BTU content PER POUND. So then it becomes a question of density of the wood for any given volume. A cord (the volume) of pine is likely in the 12 million BTU range versus a cord of white oak/hickory in the 26 million BTU range. While both will burn and produce heat, it takes the same amount of time to cut/split/feed-the-stove with either.....SO if "I" have a choice, I'm burning hardwood. Many area don't have that choice and HAVE to burn softwoods.
Yes I was just saying this to others as well. If we had an all hardwood forest thats what Id burn but we dont we have about 50/50 plus the sawmill connection is something I dont want to give up since its free and easy to process! Thank you for sharing the stats! Wood heat is fascinating!
I live in NE Ark in the Ozark foothills. Pine dont naturally grow here. The CCC planted some many decades ago. now a days Stupid folks plant them. They plant them right on the property lines. and then they grow up and storms cause them to fall on the power lines. Our Coop lost almost all the distribution lines in a epic ice storm. They went and cut every pine tree or other tree remotely close to the power lines. And sprayed every stump with poison. Best thing ever. Now pine beetles have invaded and are killing the remaining pines. Makes me happy. We have plenty of dying oak trees to make good firewood from the tree boer beetle
I think the best is birch. My personal favorite, while I acknowledge it’s not the best, is walnut. I grew up on an orchard. So it was free, burned cleaned, and had a nice fire sound. Crackling with a pop once in a while. Ahhh, I can hear it now. Home sweet home. ❤️🔥🌳 Pine is good to start but that’s it.
All the way back to the 50,s old timers said burn the least amount of pine in fireplaces because of large deposits of resin in chimneys.A possible fire hazard also a bitch to clean.But it easily the fastest burner as I remember.
I burn95% pine , all species. Mine is a Central Boiler built in 1998. I will crack the door ever so often and let it roar and it will incinerate any creosote built up in the chimney.
I use Pine in our maple maple sap evaporator. Seasoned bone dry, It throws off a ton of heat. I’m starting to use it in the wood stove as well during the shoulder seasons.🪵🔥🍁
Anything's better than tulip poplar, yellow pine isn't bad as firewood but it does burn fast due to relatively low density and makes more chimney creosote than other woods.
@@HomesteadJay Another benefit in favor of yellow pine is it's more forgiving in terms of seasoning. I guess other species of pine are similar, I don't have experience with them. I do have to be more vigilant concerning chimney maintenance with yellow pine's additional creosote.
@@zachary3777 If tulip poplar is all you've got, then go with it. A fast growing softwood species and due to low resin content, it doesn't deposit near as much creosote in comparison to the more resinous species such as pine for example, as properly seasoned. Poplar is one of the easiest to split due to the straight grain and makes decent kindling.
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 it is most certainly a hardwood. Albeit a softer one. It dries quickly. Ash or oak is preferable, but poplar isn't so bad.
If it is really cold out that fire would be gone in a few hours if it was pine and there would be no coals to start a new fire. I burn mostly maple and oak. I have had some standing dead super dry pine. It burns as fast as cardboard
Here on the downeast coast of (pine tree state)Maine, I am surrounded by red oak, though white pine likes to grow with it. In my opinion, pine is way better than the btu statistics would lead one to believe. That pitch is a fuel in itself.
We had a large pine tree in our yard. Likely planted by the CCC. I hated it. I hated the pine straw needles. Cut that sucker down and made firewood. It was sorry wood had to build a fire to get it to burn and didnt make any heat. My wife said pine will not burn in hell with a fan on it. I prefer Red Oak ,hickory , Hackberry cedar and locust. Pine dont naturally grow in my Part of the Ozarks.
Sorry you had bad luck with your pine. I like the expression your wife said thats hilarious lol "wont burn in hell with a fan on it" LOL I may use that in a future video lol
You cant burn pine.... LOL... My family has burned free pine slabs for the wood dump for 40 years. We had a man made saw rig to cut the slabs down. it had a Huge saw disc blade with an old car frame and a rim to attach a huge belt. A simple back and forth platform made cutting easy and fast. A hot fire and a good cleaning keeps any danger away. AND we are from the North East!!!
This video is for a wood boiler, you clearly never ran one. You can burn pine in these 24/7 but your gonna burn up your coals. What do you think people do out west?? With ponderosa pine, Hemlocks, doug firs? Tell them pine is BS and see how that works! Thanks for tuning in though! :)

New channel banner and intro are great. Cool 😎 to hear you were taking some time off for family, that’s truly what’s important. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Rich! Yes that is deff whats important indeed! Ive always known that so it was nice to do some r&r! We are back at it now so we are ready to roll!
I mostly burn hardwood because that’s mostly what grows on my land. Having said that I absolutely love burning pine, it smells great. It burns hot, and heats up the house quickly in the off-season and does not make any more creosote than hardwood.
You nailed it as long as its well seasoned theres no issue! I burn pine in my shop stove and it burns fast and hot and gets the place up to temp quickly much faster than the hardwoods!
I use a mixture of hardwoods and pine. Most people won’t use pine so it is easy to get and free.
Exactly! Works mint in a outdoor wood boiler!
Out here in CT we have tons of hardwood. I agree mixing it in with hardwoods make a great fire. And there’s so much free pine out there.🪵🔥🍁
Thanks for sharing 😊

Hey Tim! Good to hear from you again! Thanks for tuning in and I hope you had a good holiday week!
I wish we had more hardwood slabs but kevin does mostly timber framing milling LOL
Here in Washington State. Douglas fir (pine equivalent) is what we have the most of.. Burns awsom in a wood stove..
Yes ive seen and heard many west coast guys running that stuff!
Doug fir is by far better firewood than pine .

I burn alot of pine probably around 85 percent in an indoor wood stove that is also in a trailer house. I check the chimney about every 2 weeks never have more then a pie plate full of creosote in a run of uninsulated stovepipe 14 foot with 3 elbows. Good seasoned wood is the key. I am in northwest Wisconsin. I have access to all the major hardwoods but I sell that to the wood snobs. From 2 sawmills on the area I can get pine slabs for between 5 to 10 dollars for a 4' by 4' by 8' bundle 10 foot to 20 foot long bundles are a bit higher priced. 2 other sawmills that are 60 to 80 miles south of me pay me 200 dollars a semi load to take pine slabs and they bring 5 loads a week between the 2 places. I have several bandsaw mills that work on resawing the slabs into useable lumber or palletstock. Remember slabs are the outside of the tree grades normaly run higher then box store lumber is. Like the new intro.
Hey Jeff! Thanks for tuning in and sharing! SEMI truck loads? Now I wish I could get a few of those in here lol I am getting (hopefully) a grapple load next year from kevin. He has a huge project coming up and will set aside enough for a log truck hopefully. That way dad with his bobcat and I can load the blue saw horse I have and cut and restock the slabwood pile! Glad you like the new intro and thanks for the feedback!
Talk to a logger that's hauling in your area. Most would be willing to haul slabs back cheap because it's almost the same fuel cost as empty to go back home. We process around 2000 full cord of slabwood 200 semi loads give or take a year. Out of that about 300 full firewood 4x4x8 foot cords are produced. The other 1700 cord is pulled as lumber mainly used for pallets just because of length of stock. All of my equipment is electric ran off of solar had to eliminate fuel costs. We are not grid tied solar either had to make that point many times to both the electric company and the county. 1 wants cheap electric the other tax revenues from fuel. Keep up the good work and don't let the nah sayers get you down

Free is for me!
Just had a tree service from out of town doing work down the hill for a neighbor. My son stopped to ask him if he was willing to bring us some wood chips. He was planning to drive them back to his home town 25 minutes away. He jumped at the chance to dump them 2 minutes away. I asked him about the wood when he came to dump the chips and he said he’d bring us some of that too. Ended up getting 4 loads of chips and about 10 or 12 mature pine trees and a few decent size hardwood trees. All I have to do is cut it up, split it and stack it. Free wood is free wood and will keep me warm just as well as expensive hard wood I could pay to have delivered.
I like the new intro and logos..good video.
Glad you like them!
I ran a tree service for a guy for 2 years....we sold the good hardwoods for firewood and we used all the pine for the boiler....the boiler supplied 2 houses...we never split it either just seasoned a year or 2 and cut up in chunks
Chunk wood is good wood!
I like the new look
Figured id change it up and play around with it! Thanks for tuning in!
I have an outdoor furnace. Get green pine and put in it. Seasoned pine in my goes up like a match stick
Ive burned it all lol
Yep, a match stick! Where I live, we only have pine and other conifers. Only way I can get a fire to last all night in my wood stove is to crank the stove up very hot, then put big rounds of unseasoned pine in it, and close the damper. Fire burns cooler and slower, and catalyst burns the smoke as secondary fuel so that it doesn’t end up coating the stove pipe with creosote. If I don’t start with a very hot fire, the green wood won’t catch. If I don’t use green wood, the stove is cold by morning.
@@EFTTappingwithHeatherAmbler you must be in Alaska or the northwest??
My brother and I use a mix of hard wood and pine, works great for us
Good stuff! Its perfect to mix in. Whats nice too is that the pine relights easy when the damper opens up which helps the larger rounds re catch too lol
Nice video. I generally go by the rule, if it’s made out of a tree I’ll burn it.
Hahah if it grew in the woods its burnable LOL
I have mostly Ponderosa pine and California Back Oak on my place, and I burn at least 80% pine. As long as a guy is not allergic to getting up on the roof once in a while to sweep the chimney, it is just fine. If I had more Douglas Fir, I would certainly prefer that, but in my neck of the woods pine will do. The bonus is that the chunks with branches are usually quite pitchy and burn like napalm.
Hey Cali, Yes pine pitch is MINT for burning haha that and white birch bark are both amazing fire starters!
I like to burn PINE too. It produces HOT red coals and puts out great heat. For some you early learning stuff about wood, it's not the flames that put out the heat, it's the red coals. Pioneers burned pine and it was they had depending on where they settled. GOOD VIDEO Jay.
Hey Larry. Pine is a great wood indeed! Some
Of the best pine to burn for firewood is out west in the ponderosa pines. Hemlock is good too as it has a tighter density than regular white pine! Either way I burn it all hahah
Cool intro man!
Thank you!
Intro was very cool.
Thank you for feedback!
I use hemlock and hard wood I get by the cord, my hemlock is 20$ a ton and I just have to cut it into pieces, it’s all slab wood (live edge) from mills. And I just split it down and I have indoor burner, primary source of heat. When it’s single digits outside I can keep the main part of the house 70-80 degrees.
Exactly! No complaints there right! Rather be hot then cold!
Nice one
Thanks!
I live in the west, east of the Cascade Range. There are many types of pine west and east of the Cascades, but the only pines considered good firewood are tamarack and lodge pole.
Firewood is rated here by heat output, accessibility and availability.
Juniper has always been the best non-hardwood, but the best of it is almost gone.
Oak is easily accessible on the west side of the Cascades, but not much on the east slope
Tamarack and Larch is almost as good and is available in places.
Next would be Lodge Pole and is readily available.
The rest of the Pines including pine limbs are garbage in comparison. Sort of like the answer to food, "It will make a turd". They will make a fire if you keep them dry, but you have to stand a little closer to the stove!
Good red juniper doesn't absorb moisture so you can stack it outside without a problem.
There are a number of hardwoods west of the Cascades that are excellent wood.
Oak and Madrone are probably the most popular hardwood because of their availability, but mahogany is just as good, but much harder to use and to find in abundance. If you can find Alder it is a great firewood as well.
I am not familiar with the woods from out west thanks for sharing! Very cool information! Thanks for sharing George!
We just bought our winter firewood supply for The Ole Church!
Awesome!
Like all your videos. I burnt a lot of slabs like this for the first 3 or 4 years I had our boiler. They were free and very fast to cut up so it was fine. They work great for day time and when it is not super cold out. Since they have run out I burn a lot less wood now. I actually use about half hardwood and half hardwood for the colder months and it works great.
That is awesome! They are a nice offset for sure! I consider them "free" to me as they are way easier to source and what not! I would rather burn all the slabs each year then go through all the hardwood lol
I love at i like your new video today you did a good jop on your video we have a good new year good Christmas love your video buddy this was nice fire you have going buddy 🔥
Same to you
love it
Thank you!
I love the new intro but not a big fan of the of the new banner. Great to see to see your back!
Thank you for the honest feedback! Still playing around with it!
😮😊if it works, fine. Take care😊
Indeed it does! Thanks
You can use pine in a wood burning stove inside. Just clean the the pipe out once a year maybe twice.
Yes! As long as people are smart about it its not a terrible wood
You burn the wood that's readily available in abundance where you live. Where I live, pine is actually quite scarce and I burn hardwoods. Each wood has it's virtues and it's drawbacks. Elm is more dense than pine and doesn't need as much time to season. But, it's a bear to split by hand. Some pieces are tough for even a log splitter. Pine is easy to split. But it has to be very thoroughly seasoned or you'll end up with a creosote mess. Once you get used to a certain wood, that's the best for you.
Couldnt agree more with you! We have about 50 percent pine forest and we also have the sawmill connection so pine fits the bill sometimes. To me the pine is worthless so id rather burn all my pine each year then the hardwoods since the hardwoods are harder (no pun there) to come by hahah.
Yeah, growing up in LA, (Lower Alabama), pine is what we burned because there was an almost unlimited supply all around us.
Nice
Thanks Matt!
hi there looks good stay worm john
Thank you, I will!
Amazing intro
Thank you!
Welcome
I burn a lot of pine in my outdoor furnace plus a lot of dead Elm. The problem with only burning pine is it doesn't leave many coals, so you have to burn it with some hardwood too.
Yes thats why I toss the fat round in and bury it in pine as that will be my coal bed for the next load!
Digging new intro , like new icon ,
Glad you like it! Thanks for feedback!
In washington. We have oak madrona fir pine any many many others. I think fir is the best wood. It is in abundance the cure time is one season. I work full time an this past year sold 300 cord as a side hustle. Id still pick fir over the oak or madrona. Majority of people dont have room to store wood for multiple years.
Hey Dan! Thanks for sharing! I love hearing what others are up too!
If you want a chimney fire, use pine. A good firestarter. But the resin is a hazard for every chimney if you use too much of it for too long without cleaning.
This has been debated for years. As long as its seasoned there shouldnt be much difference. Its good practice to clean chimney anyways regularly
I'm in my 70's been around wood burning my whole life. If I'm spending my time cutting firewood, it damn sure isn't going to be pine. Although I did make my wood shed from pine,lol. Interesting video.
Haha yes I know. I wouldn’t go out of my way for pine either but makes good day wood for the boiler and burns hot.
I do use pine when I'm boiling maple sap, burns hot, just doesn't last long.
Pine is fine - in case you are satisfied with big amount of soot, maybe is easier to your clean boiler, then my 8 m high chimney, or if you havent another choice
True!
I have been told by one of the companies who manufactures gasification wood boilers the they love pine so do you think you would do a gasification boiler when this one dies? When I finally get one I’m going to get the stainless steel version because it has a 20 year firebox warranty! The one brand I like is the wood gun and they say that it will burn wood of up to 30% moisture!
I will go gasification as I can not "legally" get a non gasification unit as they are deemed "commercial use only" which can be be worked around but I feel like I would like to step up to the gasification units. I have learned a lot and have a decent amount of equipment now I feel I can have enough split seasoned wood both pine and hardwood for one of those units.
In all fairness as a woodburner here in the northeast for 50 plus years we forget the pine, too hot, likely to start a chimney fire.. BTU's, lots, longevity not so much. Great to start a fire with..that's about it, peace.
True! Works great for an outdoor wood boiler which was the point of this video!
I just burn natural gas.....don't have to worry about anything you mentioned. Set the thermostat and forget!
🤘
Good morning, and Happy New Year. How often do you empty your ashes from the boiler. I seem to have a much deeper ash/coal bed than you do. I have a Central Boiler Classic 5036.
Morning Rob! It depends, The machines dont mind a ash bed but keep in mind the water jacket goes under the "floor" of the firebox so 8 inches of ash is going to be hard to transfer heat through " in theory" versus 4 inches of hot coals sitting right on the metal. The ash is an insulator for moisture as well so even though you have a on and off fire if you have 8 inches of ash sitting lets say in the back of the machine with no coals on top you could be holding moisture. This is what I was told from CB. I keep my fire/coal bed all before the "baffle wall" the top part of the firebox that comes down the lowest. If that makes sense. To answer your question lol I burn a lot of pine and pine is ashy so sometimes ill do a few shovel loads every couple of days. That works too. You can lighly push the coals/fire to the back of the machine being careful not to disturb the ash and then scoop some out. I did a video on this. Check it out ua-cam.com/video/2m9uv6xaVlA/v-deo.html
@@HomesteadJay Hey Jay, thanks for the response.... it makes sense, so I will try lowering the ash bed and give that a try. Thanks again, keep it up with the videos, and I will keep watching!
@@robmacdonald9395 Love having you following along! Glad to help!
Here in eastern Washington we like tamarack and fir. The ponderosa pine here is knotty and hard to split and leaves more residue than tamarack. Pine soots up your chimney faster as well.
Pine does not soot up quicker than hardwood! That’s an old wives tale and you have fallen into the 🪤 trap. Nothing is worse than oak and I mean nothing!!! Sorry for revealing the truth to you.
I think as long as its seasoned and mixed in theres no issues.
Heard that before.
Question do you know if red cypress is good to burn in a wood oven stove
As long as it’s SEASONED there’s not issue. Make sure moisture content is under 20%
The best firewood is the firewood you can get for free. I have tons of avocado wood. It's a hard wood, but it burns faster than other woods, but it burns hot. Also, I don't split firewood because it's the wood from an entire tree that died, some small branches, some larger trunk pieces. The larger logs burn WAY longer than the same logs split into smaller pieces. The largest logs are no more than around two feet in diameter. Obviously, if all you have are huge trunk pieces, you have to do some splitting.
Yes free is for me as well! I did a video on that larger rounds burn slower I get about 40% more burn time from an unsplit round versus full split! Thanks for tuning in!
I like to use as big a stick as I can fit in the door.
@@graemedalgleish8944 indeed. Good coal bed no problem there
If you are going to split alot, get a splitting axe. Loose the maul. I used one of those for years. Splitting Axe like a Fiskars or a Hybrid will split those logs much easiers.
Not really. There are really good mauls available, like 3 kg Mueller and 5 lb Scandinavians, that put toys like Fiskars to shame. IMO. Axes cut, mauls split, FWIW.
I disagree. The maul and the axe are two different animals! The "splitting axe" versus the "splitting maul" are two different animals. This 8lb maul will split way more than my 4lb splitting axe. They are two different animals
I agree with you Jacques
@@HomesteadJay IME an 8 lb maul is heavier than optimum. 6 lb is close, but 5 lb is about perfect. 3 kg is quite workable. Probably more important is head shape and edge.
I watched your video on throwing loose wood into your trailer and then you stacked it. I have a 8 foot by 5 foot by 3 feet tall trailer if I just throw the wood in it that a half cord or more you think??
Well a stacked 4' X 4' X 8' pile is exactly a cord so your trailer is rougly 1 cord inner dimension so loose throwing id say a half cord maybe a touch over!
@@HomesteadJay awesome thanks for getting back to me.
Pine species generally have a higher BTU content per weight than hardwoods at same moisture level depending on pitch content. But pine is less dense, so even though it cuts faster a greater volume of wood needs to be handled, thus it is often considered to be less desirable. Also, it burns quickly leaving no coals so will not hold heat in most stoves used here in the U.S. Pine use excels in masonry heaters sometimes called Russian stoves that originated in northern regions where only softwoods are available. Here the heat from a hot quick fire is captured in the masonry mass and radiates back an even heat from one or two firings a day. Because these stoves are only fired wide open, thus extremely hot, creosote is not a concern.
when you say wide open masonry stoves.....what about wide open fireplaces? can you elaborate?
I have been burning pine here in south jersey for years, I burn it hot and no real creosote build up. the fireplace goes through wood pretty fast, i dont use it as a primary heat source, but use it during very cold periods and on holidays.
I tend to mix it with hardwood, but I dont see much problem with it.
@@harryharry3193 Go look up Rocket Mass Heaters.
It is not the heater that is "wide open" it is that the heater is burned while "wide open", which means it is configured for maximum airflow and the fastest and most complete combustion, and therefore the most efficient burn. The heat is captured and re-emitted over time, so the short actual duration of the burning isn't a downside. It's just like charging a heat battery.
Compared to fir, pine burns about 20% more wood than fir. I know hardwoods burn more efficiently. But compared to other softwoods, pine burns too darn fast, I just don't want to cut more wood than needed. I'm lazy.
Exactly!
I meant for an outdoor wood boiler. wood stoves pine is debated of course.
Pine wood is better then no wood.
Yes indeed! Hot stove is better than cold stove
I had a fantastic pine fire in my outdoor fire 🔥 pit tonight!
Pines great for that!
Hey is your outdoor Wood boiler loop running to a heat exchanger to heat your oil boiler loop in your house and you use the oil boiler loop to heat everything? (I suppose I’m asking if there are two separate loops that are connected via a heat exchanger)
That is correct! So when the OWB is running it heats the loop that would normally be heated by the oil furnace. During the summer when the OWB is not running I close those valves and shut the pumps off then the oil resumes any heat demand.
Also if the OWB burns out there is a "switch" that will trigger the oil to turn on which will "reverse the polarity" of the process and take heated water from the home side and run it through heat exchanger which will keep the owb loop water at 130 degrees ( not freezing and circulating ) Every time I explain it its still so fascinating to me lol
👍👍👍
Thanks Larry!
It's a misconception that pine will put extra cresote in your chimney compared to hardwoods. As long as it's properly seasoned it's not going to add anymore cresote compared to hardwood. The whole myth of pine putting out more cresote is because there due tend to be more chimney fires after burning pine, but that's because pine burns super hot, and does tend to crackle shooting off little embers, both of which are causes of igniting the cresote already in your chimney. It burns great, but it's not very dense so you'll go through it quick
Hey Rich! You are correct! Ive burned 4 cords of pine this season and just cleaned the chimney ( next video coming out ) and it was mint and had no buildup! The key is seasoned wood indeed like you said!
Pine is fine except you have to buy twice as much because it has a lot less BTU's to warm your home.
That's all I've learned so far 🤔
Love pine in the wood boiler!
At 6:40, why does moisture content does not matter is a non-gasification stove? Are the gasifier units more sensitive to the temperature lost to water vaporizing? Thank you
This is debated a lot here on this channel but regular wood boilers like mine are a NON gasification. Meaning you can burn "anything" in this unit including green wood as long as you have adequate coal bed. The gassification units are more picky and generally require a more seasoned wood as they are more specific in the wood burning process. The gasification units have a down draft style firebox so the fire goes down instead of UP like mine, once the fire goes down its injected with air and the heat from the wood and gasses is what heats the water. My unit a lot of the heat goes out the chimney. The exhaust is still hot on the gasser units but its basically squeezing every once of energy out of a stick of wood in that process. So burning green wood in those units makes them more picky. In a nutshell!
@@HomesteadJay Thank you for the reply, that led me to watch a few videos on gassifier units. All new to me. I only have experience with indoor stoves. Pretty fascinating stuff.
@@kentvandervelden Yes wood boilers are a neat idea for sure! Fire has been heating man for long time so its cool to see how now we can get so much energy out of wood! I love everything about it
Not sure why this is such a big issue, most people do not have an option of softwood/hardwood either due to cost or availability. Most burn what they can get their hands on.
Exactly! No issues here if you ask me
ALL wood contains about the same BTU content PER POUND. So then it becomes a question of density of the wood for any given volume. A cord (the volume) of pine is likely in the 12 million BTU range versus a cord of white oak/hickory in the 26 million BTU range.
While both will burn and produce heat, it takes the same amount of time to cut/split/feed-the-stove with either.....SO if "I" have a choice, I'm burning hardwood. Many area don't have that choice and HAVE to burn softwoods.
Yes I was just saying this to others as well. If we had an all hardwood forest thats what Id burn but we dont we have about 50/50 plus the sawmill connection is something I dont want to give up since its free and easy to process! Thank you for sharing the stats! Wood heat is fascinating!
@@HomesteadJay Wood heat IS fascinating for sure. I've been heating with wood for going on 50 years, and never plan to stop.
@@edsmith4414 I hope to say that one day as well!
I live in NE Ark in the Ozark foothills. Pine dont naturally grow here. The CCC planted some many decades ago. now a days Stupid folks plant them. They plant them right on the property lines. and then they grow up and storms cause them to fall on the power lines. Our Coop lost almost all the distribution lines in a epic ice storm. They went and cut every pine tree or other tree remotely close to the power lines. And sprayed every stump with poison. Best thing ever. Now pine beetles have invaded and are killing the remaining pines. Makes me happy. We have plenty of dying oak trees to make good firewood from the tree boer beetle
I think the best is birch. My personal favorite, while I acknowledge it’s not the best, is walnut. I grew up on an orchard. So it was free, burned cleaned, and had a nice fire sound. Crackling with a pop once in a while. Ahhh, I can hear it now. Home sweet home. ❤️🔥🌳
Pine is good to start but that’s it.
I Love birch! Such a beautiful wood! We dont have a lot so I try to preserve it!
it's all easy with massive outdoor wood burners, burns everything from dry pine to wet hard woods
Yes indeed
All the way back to the 50,s old timers said burn the least amount of pine in fireplaces because of large deposits of resin in chimneys.A possible fire hazard also a bitch to clean.But it easily the fastest burner as I remember.
Yeah it doesnt matter in an outdoor wood boiler as this what the machine in the video
Okay. Thanks. over 9 minutes and I still don't know the use for this outdoor burning dewvice. You heating up the woods in winter?
It heats our home.
Check some other videos. It’s a big firewood burner that heats water that is then pumped into the house underground PEX
I burn95% pine , all species. Mine is a Central Boiler built in 1998. I will crack the door ever so often and let it roar and it will incinerate any creosote built up in the chimney.
LET IT BURN!
I use Pine in our maple maple sap evaporator. Seasoned bone dry, It throws off a ton of heat. I’m starting to use it in the wood stove as well during the shoulder seasons.🪵🔥🍁
I’ll tell ya Robert nothing like real dry pine to get some flames going!
Love the Carhartt. Long live Carhartt.
Your not the first person to comment about it lately. I guess ill have to see who did what now cause i dont follow the "trendy" stuff nor do I care
@@HomesteadJay I wouldn't bother checking it out as it'll just waste your time. Keep doing what you're doing. 👍

Anything's better than tulip poplar, yellow pine isn't bad as firewood but it does burn fast due to relatively low density and makes more chimney creosote than other woods.
Yes for an outdoor wood boiler its perfect to mix in!
@@HomesteadJay Another benefit in favor of yellow pine is it's more forgiving in terms of seasoning. I guess other species of pine are similar, I don't have experience with them. I do have to be more vigilant concerning chimney maintenance with yellow pine's additional creosote.
We burn a lot of tulip poplar. Doesn't seem to be a problem.
@@zachary3777 If tulip poplar is all you've got, then go with it. A fast growing softwood species and due to low resin content, it doesn't deposit near as much creosote in comparison to the more resinous species such as pine for example, as properly seasoned. Poplar is one of the easiest to split due to the straight grain and makes decent kindling.
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 it is most certainly a hardwood. Albeit a softer one. It dries quickly. Ash or oak is preferable, but poplar isn't so bad.
If it is really cold out that fire would be gone in a few hours if it was pine and there would be no coals to start a new fire. I burn mostly maple and oak. I have had some standing dead super dry pine. It burns as fast as cardboard
Its perfect for an outdoor wood boiler!
Here on the downeast coast of (pine tree state)Maine, I am surrounded by red oak, though white pine likes to grow with it. In my opinion, pine is way better than the btu statistics would lead one to believe. That pitch is a fuel in itself.
Yeah the pitch burns incredible haha I also love the paper birch/white birch here in NH! Now that seasoned burns if you look at it the wrong way lol
You need X amount of pounds of seasoned wood to heat your house. If hardwood about a 12'x 12' woodshed..if pine, about 12' x 24' woodshed..
You are right people think pine is useless but you simple just need more of it to equal same mass
I use pine when the hard wood is low.
Yes good day wood to offset hardwood usage!
We had a large pine tree in our yard. Likely planted by the CCC. I hated it. I hated the pine straw needles. Cut that sucker down and made firewood. It was sorry wood had to build a fire to get it to burn and didnt make any heat. My wife said pine will not burn in hell with a fan on it. I prefer Red Oak ,hickory , Hackberry cedar and locust. Pine dont naturally grow in my Part of the Ozarks.
Sorry you had bad luck with your pine. I like the expression your wife said thats hilarious lol "wont burn in hell with a fan on it" LOL I may use that in a future video lol
I hate the Ozarks
@@TheGuyThatWondersWhy Good for you. One thing not needed or wanted here is more people. especially folks who hate the qzarks.
did you nabors ever complain abought all that smoke from the wood boiler
No because we have no close neighbors
Pine is fine, if that is all you have. Why use a less dense wood than say oak?
Im an equal oppertunity wood burner lol
I burn oak that’s the best for me, mix in a little coal
Nice!
Please fix the door.
why does it smoke so much
Depends on the moisture content!
You cant burn pine.... LOL... My family has burned free pine slabs for the wood dump for 40 years. We had a man made saw rig to cut the slabs down. it had a Huge saw disc blade with an old car frame and a rim to attach a huge belt. A simple back and forth platform made cutting easy and fast. A hot fire and a good cleaning keeps any danger away. AND we are from the North East!!!
Heck yeah! LET THE PINE RIP! I dont have much this year but I do like burning it in the boiler!
When someone tells you Pine wood is the BEST wood to burn, then says they burn hard wood for the night, wake up you have just been feed a line of B/S.
This video is for a wood boiler, you clearly never ran one. You can burn pine in these 24/7 but your gonna burn up your coals. What do you think people do out west?? With ponderosa pine, Hemlocks, doug firs? Tell them pine is BS and see how that works! Thanks for tuning in though! :)
