Over the past week or two I have collected pine cones in Botanic Park on my bike trips to and from work.
I have filled each of the fire place grates with them. They make a great decoration but will burn well too the next time we light a fire.
Pine-cones for the fire.
'They are best,' she said.
'Because they burn at the heart
And burn long,
Even smothered with ash.'
From Jennifer Strauss, "Pine-cones and My Grandmother."

They look really pretty, spray painted gold and arranged in the fireplace at Christmas time.
They look very pretty. We used pinecones for kindling when we camped in Colorado...this time last year. They burnt pretty fast!!!!
