Writing about the falling pine cones in yesterday post, I had a flashback to 5 years ago and my fun with our pine cones.. This is a RePost from 2012
This is my Redneck Fireplace.... Bob has a set of two of these, they are pots for melting lead.
I was snapping and whining "it JUST will NOT burn, all it is doing is smoking.... Stop! you will burn your hand, "I yelled as Bob put more pine straw on it.
Bob kept piling on straw and I kept saying "only the STRAW is burning, I want the cone to burn"
As he huffed and puffed and blew on the straw, it flamed up as I yelled
"be careful, you will catch your beard on fire. besides the ONLY thing burning is the pine straw, I want the pine cone to burn"
I said "stop! I want to burn it! Let me!'
He said " you know you are a pyromaniac"
I said "we already KNEW that!"
Well, we proved pine straw burns... do you think the pine cone will?
to be continued... if you missed the first one click on the pine cone label below the last photo

The fire in these pictures IS very pretty. No, I don't remember this, so it will be a fun surprise. My guess would be that if it hasn't burned yet, it won't. Unless you maybe dump gasoline on it. And I wouldn't put it past you. Very favorite picture is #3. I don't know what you did with that smoke, but it is gorgeous!
Lovely photos but probably easy for a pyromaniac
I won't cheat and look back to see if it burned before. I'm thinking it will but maybe needs to be more dried out.
I love the smoke and fire photos. I remember when I was little, my parents would buy some color crystals for us to sprinkle on pine cones to toss in the fireplace. The flames would be pretty colors!
I like the snap crackle and pop a pine cone makes when burning. This is almost like an incense burner for outdoors!!! Nothing like the fragrance of pine. I like it.
PS...love the glass stakes. And, as you say, not a bad price...especially when you add up the cost if buying each piece individually.
Oh no not a burning gray beard...tell Bob he needs to braid his beard before burning.

Ditto to what Mildred commented. I wonder what it was that our pine cones were treated with? Will have to do some research!
Burn, Baby! BURN!!!!
Oh, I thought you had been "at it" again... :O
Sometimes being a pyromaniac pays off!
I think that Bob is right - you are a pyromaniac! But it got you some wonderful photos!
I love playing with fire, too...I think the pinecone burned...
In your hands even a pine cone will make me laugh!
The pictures of the fire look great. Now to wait and see how the story ends.
Nothing like sitting around a redneck fire pit...haha
Fire certainly is fascinating...glad nobody got hurt...
