Pine is poor firewood. Some even call it terrible. It finds its preferred use in the construction and furniture industry. Anywhere but burning in your stove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is an evergreen tree. Evergreen trees do not shed their leaves. Leaves (or pine needles) may get dry and drop off over the years. Its leaves are narrow needle-like and called the same. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pine is softwood that contains an incredible amount of sap. It grows well in acidic and well-drained soils. It bears cones, male and female on the same tree. The male cone is slender while the female cone is woody and thick. Female cones contain seeds. These cones are used in crafts work, you might have seen a few around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has low but robust heat production and produces a moderate to high amount of smoke. Due to these characters, it is suitable for outdoor fires only, in my opinion. It’s not all bad; pinewood catches fire easily and has a decent smell. This makes it a good choice for kindling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
