Wha'chu guys do with those strangely short, knotty, fat one one side, skinny on the other pieces, that just don't stack with the rest of most of the straights....?
I know some people who just make it work and stack them right in there with the rest of the straight pieces but I'm too OCD/meticulous for uneven stacking. That and I just can't stand those pieces in my pile. I also know some who just burn them in a huge bonfire just to get rid of them so they don't have to deal with them. I personally see no reason to get rid of them, but I also see no reason to keep them stacked with all the easy fitting ones.
I keep'em out of the stack, in their own pile. I usually chisel away at them over the winter when I'm home. Can only get so many in the stove at once so there's no point in putting in two or three odd sized pieces for when I'll be gone for most of the day. Feels kinda nice though to burn the odd ones, makes ya feel like yer pulling from some kind of free pile and aren't tapping into the regular stuff.
They're too annoying to keep, yet too beneficial to get rid of. :yup:
