Actually, if done correctly, pine burns GREAT, but you have to burn it very
hot.  It is the creosote buildup that causes the problem.  It builds up in
the chimney, and will catch fire, which can burn your house down.  But if
you burn your fire very hot, the creosote doesn't collect near as much, and
there isn't a problem.  It is also suggested you clean your chimney often if
burning pine.

I use my Leica to take pictures of trees.  It takes very nice pictures of
trees.  I also believe some presentation boxes are made of wood, and wood,
after all, does come from trees.

(this is a Leica list, and I am going to try to relate whatever the subject
at hand to the use of a Leica, I think it is only fitting)
