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

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

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.

It always disappears

Learned something. Somehow I thought Florida would be full of
hardwoods. In many parts of the states (here also), pine, spruce and
the like are common firewoods with Fir and Larch (Tamarack) the
preferred woods. Hardly any hardwoods availble for sale. Any I come
across go on my private stock not the 'for sale' pile.
