i'm with mother.

is this company located in california?

use that cali hippy environmentalism on them. tell them that you have calculated that they can save (insert number of trees) or (insert numbers of acres of forest) if they would re-use their packing materials. with oil prices the way they are they would also save money in the long run because they aren't paying to have as much new wood shipped to them. also, they probably already have a contract with the carrier so they can get an additional discount per shipment if they are shipping these back.

it just has to be pitched the right way. you might also try telling them you will make it public knowlede that they are not doing everything they can to protect the earth. that'll get people acting  ;D





either that or have a massive bonfire (not at your shop)

Due to Pine being a softer wood with a higher concentration of sap

it is best to use it as kindling

burning it hotter reduces the creosote

the only time you will run into trouble with it is during the night if you fill the wood box and turn down the dampers

then you risk a chimney fire
