Yes sir Have outdoor boiler aswell Pine , pallets , construction leftover, etc . I only use what I can get for free . I like you , use the daytime / nighttime wood term . Scrape the sides open the door , stuff hot burn , clean and good to go . 15 years I've been doing the same thing. Last I brought in , 85% already cut up , load and go , pile very similar to your pic , white pine unloaded dec 4 , aprox 30 pieces left today . Loading , saw , spilt , stacked , 8 hours ish , 6 weeks plus of heat , hot water , fam of 4 , 2200 sqft home 100 years plus old . The only downside to boiler is I wish I had it 20 years before !! Yearly maintenance cost of about 50.00 average in 16 seasons . Saws , gas , oil , splitter , etc average 75.00 a year or season . I use mine year round to heat water . Side note , if all you have is pine , poplar , spruce , soft woods if ya will , instead of 12 hours , or so between fills , for me it's about every 8 hours if windy / extreme cold temperatures. Thanks for passing on the facts . G n va

I used to worry about pine, u til i talked to canadiens and people out in northwest usa. 80% of the wood urning options they have are conifers. (Softwoods/pine/spruce/etc). They dont have the option of oaks, ash and whatnot so they burn what is available. Just add the powder to burn it off. I use pine in my 2022 classic edge 360 for day and hardwood at night.

I have an old school OWB also. I burn pine or tulip Poplar most of the time. This year I have burned no hardwood at all. Oak is everywhere and the preferred firewood, but pine is throw away for most people. An OWB is pretty rare in my area, most people have a woodstove or fireplace, actually most people have no ability to burn wood at all, so they are suffering the high LP gas prices.

I've been burning in my woodstove now for 3 years. One of my favorite woods to burn is cottonwood. It will pump out some serious heat! Sure I wouldn't buy it or sell it as premium heating wood. But I really do almost prefer burning the softer woods over oak.

I found the same with silver maple. Stuff burns like an inferno. This is just for an outdoor grill/firepit, but the soft maple will make you move back a ways every time, lol. Cottonwood burned well for me, too. Just not good for cooking, due to the smelly smoke, so I don't get much. I hand split, and it can be stringy and gnarly so there's that, too. Oak makes great coals, but it takes a long time to get there, lol. Not great when you're hungry- or when the days are really short.

Best firewood??? According to the U.S. Forest Service and several university forestry schools, white pine produces 15.9 million BTUs of heat per cord. On the other hand, white oak produces 29.1 million BTUs of heat per cord. White oak produces almost double the BTUs of white pine. Sure white pine is easier to handle. It's about 1/2 the weight of white oak. However, it burns about twice as fast as white oak. You tell me which one is better. I'll take white oak every time.

Hey Phil, This video was based on an outdoor wood boiler. In European nations they burn mostly softwoods for fuel and also on the west coast primary wood is doug fir and ponderosa. Pine is great in a wood boiler which was my premise of the video but obv there are better choices. I use seasoned dry split pine in my wood stove in my shop to heat it up fast. I can get the temp up the fasest with pine wood which is the goal in my shop. I understand the weight and heat levels but my premise is its overlooked but theres no reason you can mix it in with a boiler or wood stove.
