    Sometimes I take it out to the neighbors lot to fill in some trenches, didn't feel like dragging it out in the woods today so I burned it up

    I have a giant pile of bark sitting in the firepit right now, good for smoking out the neighborhood while the fire gets going!

    I had some dry brush in the pit already, that allowed me to get a good hot fire so the bark didn't smoke too bad

    With the OWB, any scrap that burns ends up there! I do all the splitting at the cottage so with all that scrap, it goes into the fire pit where the resident pyro (99) gets her fix! Along with any leaves laying around at this time of year and in the fall of course.

    You can cook a lot of weenies with that size fire
    My uglies go in the Uglies bin and make heat when I don't need to pack the stove tight
