Could be? I had about a cord of willow splits given to me back 40 years ago and it wasn't like burning the locust, silver maple, and walnut I was used to. But it does burn. I eventually mixed a little of the other wood in with it and everything was fine. But like I said, us Easterners are very different from what some people have to do in other parts of the country. Sometimes, you have no choice?

Dated a girl once that her folks heated with yellow pine. (plenty of yellow pine in the Southeast) I didn't see the wood pile but my nose told me. I got a glimpse of the stove through the living room window as I was walking up to the front door. Maybe the flue wasn't set up right? I got used to it after a few minutes. Maybe she was standing near a brush fire out behind the house before dark?

Pine makes a lot of tar in your flue when you use a air tight stove and idle it a lot. Then when you put the stove on high, the tar sounds like a rocket motor and your pipe vibrates and glows red.
We should share what we know... someone may learn...
That knowledge can live after us... and that "Pays It Forward".
Be all that you can be . . .
