    Sitting in a lawn chair at Walmart waiting for them to put new tires on the car. Noticed this earlier.
    Looked pretty good right on top, but if you dig a little-- holy mold! Glad i brought my inhaler.

    Interesting. I would think that it had to be kilned to kill the bugs. I guess you can cook the bugs faster than you can cook out the water. (Or else they skipped the kiln entirely.)

    Toss the whole box in the stove.

    If the name is not copyrighted, I want to market a branded dog pooper scooper. It would sound like fun using it.

    The mold is an added "feature" or "bonus".
    We have a no return policy on products with added "features".:):headbang:

    7$ for .65 cubic feet:eek:
    $1378/cord but of course the firestarters make it all worth it

    You could fit way more with the shrink wrapped bags

    I've seen similar boxes and bags at our Walmart. The wood is always pretty low quality. That mold is nasty

    But then they might get some bark on their trunk. I guess that would be ok, if I had a BMW I would enjoy vacuuming it :D

    If you had a BMW you'd have to shop at Target, and you'd pay someone else to vacuum it;)

    But of course, it must be "seasoned."
