Can you burn pine trees?

Is it safe to set that particular kind of tree on fire?

    You can burn any tree if it's seasoned properly which means that it's had time to dry out or become thoroughly dead.

    Do you advise to burn them on your fire? Pine isn't a real stable selection. because of the fact of all the resin, your chimney will choose for familiar cleansing. even regardless of the undeniable fact that, on the grounds which you have all this timber now, oh properly.... this is split and stacked, precise? If no longer, split and stack it and wait a minimum of a year for it to season. in case you advise only burn to do away with it, do it now if this is legal on your county and you have a place you're able to do it thoroughly.

    It isn't reccomended. Outside, not too bad; so long as it is supervised. It will give off a wicked amount of steam though. Inside, not reccomended at all. Will cause flu fires because of the resin it gives off. Only burn hardwood inside.

    Pine isn't good for firewood if that's what you mean, no matter if aged or not the resin will explode and scatter hot embers.
