I now live near a pine tree and don't know what to do with all of the pine cones. Decorations? Just burn them in a fire pit? Any ideas welcome.

Fire starters. We collect them all from our property ahead of winter too help with starting the fire.

Do they have to be open for this or is closed fine?

I only really collect the ones that look like they’ll burn, so I can’t really say.
