One of our favorite campgrounds just north of S.F. is cutting down all of its pine trees. They are infected by pine beetles, most likely brought in by outside firewood. It seems most campgrounds in Calif are now restricting firewood that is brought from other areas. I would go with the Duraflames.
I was told that the pine beetles have always been here. And that the healthy pine trees can fend off the beetles. It's when the pine tree is stressed by drought that the pine beetle is successful at killing the tree. Now that is just from what I heard - and it made sense to me.
