I burned several (maybe 5) cords of pine in my wood stove last winter

the chimney is on the outside of the house...

i have done the same thing in several residences in fact with no flue fire problems....Of course ...i will burn a several fires of straight OAK (afterwards)

too... in a row...and supposedly theres a kreosote removing chemlog available

but thus far...i haven't seen them on sale anywhere...to get some.

rule of thumb...i've read is: every 55 fires clean flue...check flue ect.

also:
make sure your fire insurance can cover everything in the ole
plug shack ,[you have a full typed list saved somewhere?] and the house just in case A fire jumped ship...
