Hi New Guy!!
New Guy Here.... Or a really old one.
This is the type of WW I've been doing the past few weeks and I have a question. This is mostly paper birch I use for heating and entertainment.
The bark is excellent for making canoes, baskets and starting fires. I only use it for the latter.
My concern is storing it in large quantities. I have about four 55 gallon barrels full, loosely packed. The quality that makes it such a great fire starter even when wet is the oily pitch.
My question is will the bark if store in bulk spontaneously combust like oily rags used with finishes and solvents?? It would make a great fire but one I don't need right now.
TIA
Great to see all the new faces and creative ideas.
Take care
