I am glad I thought ahead
 

Just bought 2 cords of wood a couple weeks ago. Cold and windy outside. Warm and toasty inside.

thanks for keeping us warm and fuzzy.

I'm doing the same thing brother - but im buring the fake shit: Duraflames :thumbsup

LOL our new house burns the fake stuff also but it will still be nice!!! Moving any day now :)

Two cords of oak, eucalyptus, walnut, pine, etc makes for a nice windbreak also.

If you can burn duraflames you should be able to burn wood . . . right?

You're going to burn pine in your fireplace?

Sorry I meant fake logs.... it is a gas fireplace :( not as good as the real stuff

why not ?

Oh, those atmosphere ones. Atmosphere is good too.

Absolutely, Duraflames are just so darn convenient and they burn hella longer than the real stuff...

Looks like it should burn real wood and I bet at one time it did.

because it builds up creosote in your chimney and can cause a major fire

I grew up in east texas which is all pine forest, but nobody there burns it in the fireplace because its dangerous.

Here is some more info for you:

Don't see why it can't now. If there is no rear clean out, it might be a PITA, but it is still doable (I would think).

Creosote?

Depending on how many fires and how big they are and the kind of chimney I guess.

I have burned a ton (literally) of pine at my prior home, and I have been burning wood mixes including pine here since 1985. Never had it swept or had any chimney fires.

a nice home fire :)

haha - he'd probably frown upon my habit of cutting up xmas trees and burning them in my fireplace.

Really warms the house up quickly.
