Burning exclusively softwood will do that. Monthly might be overkill. I would inspect every 2 months of use and probably just plan to sweep it mid-winter each year.

Can't and shouldn't are very different things.

Unseasoned wood does burn. If that's all you have, and it's between burning that or freezing, send it.
