Curly’s Kindling Process
Curly recognised that the offcuts from the local Penrose Pine Mill were a useful resource going to waste. Discussing it with Margie together they came up with the idea of splitting the pieces and making useful kindling from them.
At the mill the pine logs are sawn and then processed by kiln drying. Before they are treated with preservative they are docked to standard lengths. This generates the short offcuts that Curly collects in his truck.
Initially they chopped them by hand with a tomahawk but as demand grew they opted for an hydraulic splitter to produce the convenient sized kindling chips.
The kindling is bagged to make handling convenient for customers.
