Fast-starting and quick to catch, with a bright, crackling flame. Locally this is typically southern yellow pine, which burns hotter and faster than oak or hickory and is best for kindling and short, lively fires.
- Flavor: Not for cooking. Resinous smoke can leave food bitter and sooty.
- Best uses: Kindling, fire starting, fire pits, campfires, and quick outdoor fires.
- Burn character: Lights easily, burns fast and hot, and crackles and pops, so use a screen.
- Smoking and grilling: Not recommended. Choose a hardwood like oak, hickory, or maple instead.
- Pro tip: Use pine to get a fire going, then add denser hardwood for a longer, steadier burn. For indoor fireplaces, burn it sparingly and keep the chimney swept, since resin can build up creosote.
