Burning pine or softwoods on my fire is bad for the chimney
It’s just not true, all wood is bad for the chimney if wet or if it’s not burned hot enough. Burn it at a reasonable temperature and you won’t have problems. A stove thermometer is cheap and will help you.
Storing logs round my fire helps them to dry out
Please don’t do this, it really is unsafe. We see some unfortunate consequences of this every year.
I’ve had a chimney fire so I don’t need it swept this year
You need to have it professionally inspected before it is used again. If there has been some damage, another chimney fire could cause a disaster.

All types of wood give about the same heat energy per kilo. The shape and size of the logs however will make a difference. Logs that are 5-6 inches wide give the best results.
