Pine not good for heating, both due to lower BTU's and gunking up stove/chimney.

But pine is great for starting a fire as it catches far easier than hardwood. So there's a bit of pine in what we burn and it hasn't been a problem. I stated "no lumber" because some people either can't tell or don't know the difference between treated and non-treated.
