They say you can't burn pine...only hard wood....but not cottonwood.....ha!


The lodgepole burns real nice. This stuff is all standing dead beetle kill, so it's pretty dry already, by the time I split/stack it in the sun/wind, it is very dry in no time at all.

As firewood goes lodgepole is not super high in BTU per cord, compared to hardwoods. But it's what we have as a resource here.


Chit ton of beetle kill through the Boulder mountains. Wasn't surprised to see the fires there this year.
