I have been burning wood for a long time and would never, ever burn pine in my stove. It can and will crack your tiles and you'll never know until you wake up some night and your house is on fire. And I clean mine professionally every year. Burn at least four or more cords every year. I shudder to think that anyone burns pine.

I'll tell you a funny story about how I screwed up once. Changed the oil in my truck. Brought the old oil down back to the shed to store it until I brought it to my buddies garage so he can use it in his heater. Well some spilled on the wood stack where I set the old god damn oil. When I got to that part of my wood and actually put it into the stove, the stove overheated to about 1200 degrees. Holy moley. Hapened three or four times. There was quite a bit more wood that had been soaked in the engine oil. But I realized my error and threw away the cordwood soaked in oil, and everything went much better.
