Creosote is formed from moisture in the wood. Pine dries quicker than hardwood but make sure that the pine is below 20% moisture in it. Also all wood creates creosote. Keeping your chimney swept once a year keeps things safe. Pine will work fine if it’s dry. It doesn’t hold as many btus as hardwood though.
