Something I've wondered about for a long time...
I've been warned time and again about it being dangerous to burn pine in regular stoves.
The worry is that pine resin collects on the inside of the chimney flue and ignites at some point, often burning down the house as a result.
Would this be less of a potential problem in a barrel and bell THM?
I ask because I'm hoping that the efficient burn in the core, followed by (presumably) a round of gas combustion in the barrel, and then another round in a brick bell, would eliminate any resins.
