Best friend has wood stove, after a nasty chimney fire he quit burning

South Florida was dependant on pine wood (fire wood). A Loblolly Pine
has a deep tap root and was harvested from forests for turpentine.


My father told me about those deep roots, and most people in town seem
to not believe it.

The root is prized for kindling, at least back in the fifties.


My father used it that way. He had a certain complicated way of
starting a wood fire, that involved building a log cabin-like
structure out of pine pieces.

We called it a lighter knot.. Expect this pine sap to burn hot.

Around here you put pine at curb with free add in pennysaver, free
firewood for camp.
