Who burns pinon?

[D9H]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Just wondering if I'm the only one.

The gnarlier and pitchier, the better I say.

Is pinyon the one that is used for commercial seed sales? Pine nuts?

 

[Applesister]

What are the racks from? Leaning against your truck?

Pinon nuts, taste pretty good roasted. I used to eat them raw when I was a kid. The racks are from Colorado elk.

I do. Just cut some today to start in on next year's supply. .. Probably 3/4 of a cord. I love the smell.

Out here in CO...Pinion is pretty darn good. If you've got a good supply...enjoy it. I wish I had a bunch.
Fairly long burn times, good heat, smooth burn with little popping or sparks.

Love pinion here. Only grows 7000 ft up. Seasons pretty fast, love the smell of the fresh cut stuff, the retail dealers have it here but i get fresh cut cords brought from utah, leave it on the patio and its like being up in the mountains.
My stacks wount be complete without it!

I have fully seasoned Almond, Some Oak, everybody throws the pinion on the fire here.

I cut and split couple cords standing dead pinion today. Just out of curiosity and because I've been a member here for a little while I put a moisture meter to it. Between 7 and 10% everywhere I checked
Now that I learned how to use my new Lopi stove it's burning all night and even keeping the glass clean!
