Does anyone know of a nifty use for pine cones? This tree is out to bust my back! This is just what I have picked up from this spring.

Not sure if yours are full of tar, but I use a dry still to extract the tar from mine to make pitch glue.

I burned all of them last year. But there was only about a wheelbarrow full. I'll look into a dry still.

My nephews love to throw them at me. My dog enjoys chewing on them. How does one go about making a dry still?

Paint them green and red and sell them for little Christmas Trees.

Dip them in paraffin, they make great fire starters.

I've boiled the tar and added it to my pine pich glue. Makes a hot glue way better than you can buy.
