dont forget you can start fires with pine cones, OH used to use one in her Aga..it goes off with a bit of a bang but apparently it works!!

My 2 year old know's his pine cones. If you hear a cry of "PONE CONE" then you should probably duck. Cause that means there's one airborne and heading straight at you!!

I use pine cones in my stove regular. They are great mixed with kindling, catch easy, burn hot and produce a superb glowing cone mass for a while before disappearing. They are like nuts and hold a lot of energy within. They are light too and easy to transport. Kept dry, they make excellent fuel that can be stored a long time, like wood. They give off a pleasant smell in open fires. They are easy to gather in your local environment at the right time of year when they fall to the ground and can also be shaken from the tree at this time. They can also be easily gathered on the hoof.
