I have a barrel full sitting next to the porch. Those cut-offs burn just fine. OH, I also have one of those wire totes full of cut-offs and uglies.
I took my mingo to Pa and marked a bunch of logs prior to cutting. Things started smoothly but got out of hand when the ope folks started cutting all kinds of sizes. A guy from the club inquired about the name of the mingo, so they obviously liked stacking same length splits.
Having met some of the jokers that assist Dennis getting wood in I'm sure his cup overflows often of shorties.
