It's still useful for when you're building fires! Pine is great for starting a fire, since it burns fast and hot, but you want a nice hardwood like oak or hackberry for a slow burn and coals.

EDIT: My regionalism is showing. Apparently what we call hackberry, Celtis laevigata, is often known as "Southern Hackberry" or "Sugarberry." Whatever. :P
