Wasn't cold enough to start a big fire this morning so I burned some corn cobs I had. Worked good at taking the chill off.

We used to use them in the cooking stove all the time. I also remember many folks who would soak some in kerosene and use for fire lighters.

I had forgotten how my Grandfather burned cobs....and used them for the other things as well...
Ohh...got my cardio in for the day...looked down and had a large spider crawling on my arm...

They are a year old. I let some kids shell corn at the local fall festival last year. They were hiding in one of my trailers, forgot they were there.

Last season i was feeling lazy and didn't want to split down kindling, so i grabbed the corn stalks that were still tied to the steps. Pulled off the leaves, cut the stalks into 18" lengths and lined my stove. Lit em up and burned nicely! Alas, the corn and cobs were removed by a local squirrel! Burned long enough to get the large splits ablaze.
