Two answers, I give you the answer at the end of the week.

Feel free to guess in the meantime.

Serious answer, obviously anybody can burn it.

It's actually excellent for several things.

1- Giving to a person you do not like for use in their projects as salvaged wood. Termites will then be drawn to the pheromones still in the wood and start a new infestation.

2- Burning.

Propagation boxes for fig cuttings. Keith Dunlap or somebody in the shout box wanted some fig plants. We've also propagated thornless blackberries AKA black raspberries, Hardy kiwis and blueberry trees.

Glue in 45 degree corner braces for cabinets and shelves. The glue spreads and provides amazing strength.

My apologies for the links , I'm not at a computer

Sounds like"Uncle John's Miracle Rose Food",a clever use of available resources sold to the tourists for some years in southern Maine.The recipe:

Take twenty or so pounds of moose s**t,place in 55 gallon plastic barrel.Add water to top,loosely cover.Allow to ferment stirring daily.Allow to settle for one week,drain liquid into quart and pint jars with labels,sell to the tourists for $10 a pint or $15 a quart.It does work,but geeez!
