I’ll throw my two cents in if I may. As long as your pine is good and dry, it’ll burn pretty clean. We burn mostly oak, with some hickory, maple and locust with a bit of pine thrown when we’re around to feed the dragon. Last winter was pretty warm and the summer had been really wet. With the firewood damp and the stove not drafting hard we had a lot of buildup in the pipe. We also have a lot of turns in the pipe and at every turn, the smoke gets a chance to cool a bit and create more buildup. We had to have the stove cleaned three times total last year and normally do it once.
