Halleluiah! ACQ PT lumber is on it's way out of circulation. The
new PT lumber is called MCQ and eliminates all the corrosion problems
of ACQ. Any exterior rated hardware can be used with it. It's color
is barely darker than natural wood with just a slight hint of green.
Ground contact rated (0.40) has a lifetime warranty.

Southern "Yella" wood has already changed over and is on the market.
Georgia Pacific is in the process of swapping out their ACQ for MCQ.
Look for the big box stores to continue selling ACQ to unknowledgeble
homeowners until all supplies are sold.

Dunno, what *is* up with it? (By the way, "pine turpentine" is
needlessly redundant.)

I'm glad you caught that one, but was hoping you'd sense it was intentional.

It's made from lighter stumps - the heartwood of large pine tree
stumps logged many years ago. Today they're logging pines 6" - 12"
diameter and they're not big enough to form lighter stumps. Or those
that do are so few & far between it's not worth the effort to find &
harvest them.

Yes, I grabbed some stump roots off the train cars. It was years ago,
but a lighter knot burned all night. Warm camp ground.

Today land is leased and they want trees; like birthing babies, The
wood is not as good.

A man in Florida recovers *yeller pine* from rivers and said to make a
bundle of money. Had to relate in river logging.

Since you mention "lighter", a term I haven't heard in many years, a
question: a long time ago, a southern gentleman of my acquaintance told
me that in Alabama where he was from, they call that stuff "lighter'd"
(he said "lighter-dee" by way of explanation. Has anyone heard this
locution?

No.

lighter knot has plenty of turpentine, so we called it "kintlin"
(kindling) One match would start a fire flame.

Nope. I've lived in north & central Alabama and never heard it called
that. Perhaps it's a southern Alabama phrase - a lot of coon-ass cajun
dialects down there. (oops, another redundant phrase)

What was the old stuff ACC? It lasted, and this new MCQ nobody knows
about yet. So it has a warranty The original stuff worked, the
replacement rotted and had a Lifetime bs warranty. And if its from
China you know it will rot fast.

It's stamped SYP (Southern Yellow Pine). But then that could be
southern China and still be a legit label I guess.
