DO DEAD MICE CONTRIBUTE TO CREOSOTE?

[Beetle-Kill]

So, the cats caught a few mice today. VERY proud of themselves. After making sure they were good and dead, I chucked them in the fire. Interesting (a bit ghoulish, I admit), but I watched them consume (tails are kinda cool). Any thoughts?

I know it's wednesday, but there must be a'liitle humor out there.

Creosote, yes. Wet rodents should never be burned in an EPA stove. Mice should be seasoned one year, rats two years.

My stove is not EPA rated. Plus, I am burning 2-month old, split pine. Should I call the Fire-Marshall? Smells like a funky BB-Q inside, right now.

Oh no . . . never burn up mice in a woodstove . . . that leads to creosote . . . and baldness . . . and fat guts . . . oh, wait a minute . . . I got confused . . . it's burning pine that causes creosote, baldness and fat guts . . . guess mice are OK to burn up.

 

[Fsappo]

I think mice by definition are considered biomass?

 

[tiber]

You're supposed to put them on top, not in. Everyone knows broiled mice are terrible!

 

[BandSawyer]

Heck you put them in the woodstove???! Why didn't you deep fry them...they're just like chicken!

 

[billb3]

That's an odd way to punish a cat for catching mice.

 

[Jags]

When you tossed them in the stove, did the cat try to chase it? I hear those cat stoves are all the rage these days. Might be a cheap way to try one out.

Hehehehe - cat AND mouse stove. *snicker*

Crispy critters!

Hey, while we are on the mice topic...

What's the best way to keep them critters outta the house? We discovered a mouse nest 4 in. deep X 4' X 2' under the kitchen sink cabinets in the house we are moving into. It was quite a fluffy mansion of spent insulation and whatever. Even contained an old bread sack dated from 1984.
:gulp:

Would burning a mouse carcass in the stove warn the others to stay away?

No! for that to work, you have to tie a noose around their little necks and hang them from a small platform so the rest of the mouse community can walk past it for a couple of days.

Get a cat.

 

[Beetle-Kill]

CAT stove...yeah, thinking BKK. As long as it doesn't try to curl up on my face at night.

 

[northwinds]

Does it take longer to cook a mouse at 8200 feet?

 

[Beetle-Kill]

Sorry Northwinds, I didn't log a burn time. Next time, and there will be a next time...oh yes..BWAHAHAHAHA! ( as an aside- while in the midst of the coal bed, the tails went RED-HOT, and positively re-animated! I know- ghoulish)

 

[Pagey]

The spirits of dead mice sweep my Class A.

 

[Ratherbfishin]

A hunting buddy of mine used to throw all the bones in his stove after we were done cutting up the deer. I dont know about creosote but boy did that place get hot!
