It's worse than that. The sap in it will collect in the chimney and then cause a chimney fire. You really don't want to burn that stuff in a fireplace.

- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoSo use a rocket stove? Burns too hot and efficient to leave residue.
- yibg 4y agoYeah, let me just dig the old rocket stove out of the basement and fire it up.
- TEP_Kim_Il_Sung 4y agoThey are fairly easy and cheap to construct, plenty of guides for rocket stoves, and rocket mass heaters. Want to heat an entire garage 24h with a hand full of twigs? An ordinary oven can't cope.
- fifilura 4y agoI'd say that is a symtom of bad combustion (too little air). Not what kind of wood you use. Sap burns just fine.
- alrlroipsp 4y agoIt's both too low temperature burning leaving resiude in the chimney that can catch fire later, AND pine/spruce having way too much sap to burn alone. You should absolutley mix it with other wood when you burn it, same as oak.
- fifilura 4y agoFair enough. Feels like you have more (possibly hard-earned) experience than me on this issue.
