What should I burn in a chimenea?

[slowmotion]

old tyres are good. You shouldn't burn them indoors but in chiminea they're fine. Get them started with a bit of petrol

....and a few rolls of roofing felt.....

The conservative party!

FTFY

I use ours for old receipts, statements and anything else I deem may be better destroyed than left for Burglar Bill and his mate Bin-diver Dave to read. A pile of paper under the grate with some wood and charcoal in the usual place on top of the grate seems to work just fine. I did my latest burn yesterday morning as we had a fair old wind blowing to encourage a bit of heat!

Burn some bridges.
Even better. Burn all the pan flutes you can lay your hands on.

Bagpipes and piano accordions too

And mimes and street jugglers too!

Convince the local police you can do them a favour and can burn the cannabis they've just confiscated from a house near you for them. Get big blocks of the dried stuff and do as you say - burn it with photografic evidence provided. But don't waste it; get a few friends around to make sure it's burning properly by leaning over it to see it going up in flames. Niiiiiice.

I wouldn't need to bother doing that in Todmorden - I could get stoned on a walk to the shops just by inhaling deeply as I pass the skunk smokers hanging about on local street corners!

As for smoke upsetting neighbours ... I didn't realise how far away smoke can cause annoyance until I spent 9 days in a ward in hospital in Halifax. I was on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the building, probably 75 metres away from an area of the car park which was the hospital's only designated smoking area. Some of the windows at the side of the ward were open during daylight hours and as a result there was always a strong smell of cigarette smoke in there.

A friend of mine works for a firm that incinerates stuff commercially. Amputated limbs from the local hospital, unwanted "development"parts for formula 1 teams, and also impounded drugs from the channel ports, to name but a few.

Of course, its not a " bung it on the bonfire" operation, but a very carefully controlled one, both in terms of accounting for all the items to be burnt, and ensuring that the burn process is optimised, depending on the nature of each burn.

But he did say that when large quantities of cannabis are being burned, half of east kent is likely to get high on the fumes!

As regards what to burn in a chimnea, scrap wood works well for me. Old pallet wood scrounged from work, and broken down small so that it ignites without too much smoke. Feed the fire little and often.

I'm too lazy to read through all the posts here but you want to try pallets.

I shouldn't really be saying this but I first met someone who was going to become a friend on the same day I took his amputated arm to our hospital's incinerator. The thing is, since the Brexit shenanigans, I think i took the wrong bit of him to the incinerator so painfully embarrassing has he become in the fall-out since. Is that bad?

I have some matches somewhere and am quite willing to come help. I promise I won't inhale.
