I do miss that feature!

Here is a million $$ idea.....

Adapt one of those pelletizer machines to take in junk mail and put out rice coal size pellets!

Ok, Ok, maybe its just a couple thousand $$ idea.

There was an article I read years ago about some guy that signed up for anything he could find. He was getting huge amounts of junk mail delivered daily which he then burned for heat.

Most junk mail is full of clay... I hate junk mail, I like to stick it to the tree hugger's, how much energy wasted and how much pollution comes from junk mail.. yeah, what ya doing about that !!

I have to lug it to the house then lug it back to the street and pay to have it taking away? BS on that.. I write the local papers and tell them to stop or they will be billed a disposal fee, don't pay see you in SC court.

Anything with a postage paid envelope gets stuck to a brown paper wrapped brick and gets mailed back to where it came from. I don't get them anymore, wonder why...

In the old days... someone I knew, lol, used to fill the postage paid return envelopes with dried cow crap and put it back in the mail. I suppose if it was done now they would think it was some kind of chemical.

This. I don't even like putting wood in the DS if I can help it.

I can see not messing up the view if you have a window on your stove. Mines a big ugly furnace in the basement with solid cast iron door, and I think the only thing I'd want to avoid is plastic because it might leave a gooey hard mess.

I wondered what pellets would do, I assumed they were much more volatile. Coal only for me (except at that one time startup)

And all this time, the wifes been shredding old "important" documents with personal info on them .
"Don't put that in the trash!". "Someone might get our #'s and empty out our $25 accounts!".
(And all this time it could've gone in the coal pile. ;))

It's said those in the anti-soviet resistance would burn compromising documents and then spread the ashes in a river..
