P.S. use hard wood only, Pine burns fast and the tars coat the chimney. Only use it in a pinch.

Yes pine has pitch which can lead to chimney fires. Also stay away from burning plywood which is loaded with glue that is not good for your chimney. Burning older pressure treated wood is also a no no. The ashes are toxic.
