First I would like to say that I am new to burning wood and I am getting ready to buy a wood stove. I have been around it all my life but never done it myself. I recently bought some property and built a home and 30x40 detached garage with 10' walls. I want to put the wood stove in my detached garage that is insulated very well. The property I bought is almost entirely jack pines that I am getting ready to start cutting/clearing.
So my online research has led me to the conclusion that the old saying not to burn pine because it is dangerous and causes fires is not entirely true. My understanding is that if it has been cut and dried for at least a year, it is no more harmful to burn than any other wood. I am extremely busy with work over the winter months and I doubt I would use the stove any more than 100-150 hours per year.
So I would like to know if you have any tips for burning pine. Is there a wood stove that would be better than another for the way pine burns (hotter/faster)? For example, I noticed some have fire brick and some don't. Should I let the pine in larger chunks so it doesn't burn so hot and fast? Most of it will be between 6-12" so do I even need to split it? Should I clean the pipe annually? Pipe diameter 6"? Damper setting? Double wall stove pipe? Etc.
