Pembrokeshire

Four years or so ago I had about 40 acres of Douglas Fir clear felled, I believe it went mostly for fencing posts. This resulted in quite a lot of off cuts being left behind along the woodland tracks. I have ignored this lovely wood because I was told that Fir has too much creosote in it and should not be burnt in my wood stove. As this wood is now starting to go soft and rotten I will appreciate any ones views on burning Douglas Fir before the wood has 'gone beyond it'.

I understand that softwood such as my Douglas Fir is not suitable for using in a wood stove because of its high pitch content? Four years ago I had about 40 acres clear felled and this was carted off for fencing. I am able to locate some hard wood from wind blown trees. There is I would guess about 20 ton of Douglas Fir logs still lying around which I ignore, but it is a shame as these are now going rotten. Am I doing the right thing in leaving this potential firewood alone?
