do u mean in a stove or burnt outdoors to dispose of

Will burn nicely in a stove when dry, but if you burn a lot of pine then clean your chimney more regularly as there is more of a build up of gunk in the chimney from pine due to the resin content.

You cannot burn garden waste in the backyard.

i thought garden waste was ok to burn using the incinerator from the co op

farmers can get a permit from the council to burn tree's, leaves ect

if its for a stove you'd just want to be sure that their well dry and seasoned

careful now you are flippantly promoting an illicit act and you can go wrong, "Helicopters employed by the Council to detect backyard burning"

Can I remind posters of our charter, suggesting an illegal activity can and will result in moderator action, up to and including a ban from this forum.


Thanks

If it was chipped when wet I would not bother trying to get it dry enough for a stove. Better use for it would be as a mulch in the garden to keep weeds down.
