Pine resin can be toxic, however in the small amounts you will be using in a bbq I would not be concerned.
If truth be told I would bet it is safer then the chemicals used in easy light charcoal or liquid starter
I've had plenty of campfires over the years that had pine in it and I've never thought twice about it.
