Tires and batteries

yes I do Titan some of my towns people do. They cut the tires in 4 pieces with splitter and there batteries in two pieces. Then wonder why they have pay a $1000.00 for a new stove every year. Cause they for got to get the pieces of wire out of the stove when the insurance man showed up. Later

My brother owns a tire disposal company in Maine.He is hammering a sizable quantity of TDF into the paper mills.The market price for tire disposal has really dropped.The amount of fuelwood/biomass displaced by TDF has been huge.

Well I really enjoyed reading all the posts so far. I am just shocked that all you heat gurus missed the best heating fuel out there. Bowling Balls!
I once had a bonfire after cleaning out the chicken coop and there were a few old bowling balls in there and my friend decided to toss one in while I wasn't looking.
Well it looked a bit like the mushroom cloud from Hiroshima and I panicked when I saw it. I was envisioning a giant firetruck in the backyard, hoses running to and fro, my picture on the front page of the paper "Local beer drinker sets town alight" and also the monetary distress that such an event would cause. So I quickly grabbed a 2x4 and pushed it out of the fire where it continued to burn along with the grass it was now resting on.
I ran up and kicked it to get it rolling (stop, drop and roll) and it rolled along the backyard still on fire leaving black trails of burnt grass and gunk the whole time still belching enormous clouds of thick, black smoke. I think I kicked that ball around half of the back yard trying to get it to go out when I finally gave up and ran for the garden hose. Even the water just glanced off the flames for the first few seconds.
When all was said and done the bowling ball looked to be no smaller and no worse for wear however my back yard was a shambles and the smoke in the air must have killed half a dozen unfortunate birds that had set their GPS to route through my yards air space. Oh and a bowling ball would fit in your wood stove! No splitting required.
(disclaimer "Please don't burn bowling balls......again)
