    Got some old cedar fence rails cut up, this will be some real good kindling. :fire:
    This stuff splits if you look at it hard
    Only use about 3 pieces per load so this will last long time.
    Brought a bunch in the house it smells good

    For years I had a big cardboard box of cedar shingles sitting in my garage. Then one day last winter it dawned on me that they would make great kindling for the same reasons HDRock mentions - easy to split, catches easily, burns hot. And the best part is it's free! Great idea, HD! :thumbs:

    Yeah, I looked at the radar, thunderstorm coming through soon, went out and got a bag of wood 10 minutes later thunder storm rolled in:)
    I don't bring much in the house when it's this warm, too many bugs, I have some on the porch too

    I had these laying around for a while decided I wasn't going to be using them for any fencing, might as well make some good Kindling out of them.
    Nice and clean for storing in the house
