Not disagreeing with the other responses, but if I had your problem, I'd pick up a bunch. Those sound like big cones! I wouldn't worry about creosote issues as long as you're running a clean system. It's just kinda cool I think, with no down side I can see.

If you think those are big you should see Sugar Pine cones. they are a foot or so long and 5-6" on dia. Ill look later and see if any have fallen yet but I think its too early yet. 3 of them in the stove and youve got a quick hot fire. Ive heard people have been to the ER after being hit on the head by a cone falling from 80 to 100'

They've got some huge ones like that in Florida, too.
Filled up a car trunk once , in a rest area.
Used for wreaths and things though, not fire starters.

Stay away from rest areas!! :bug:


Ha !
That was 20 years ago.
Daytime and had a 2 and 4 year old with me.


Yeah, rest areas have gotten pretty disgusting.
They've closed a couple here, for just that reason.
