Is there any practical use for pine cones? (lemm.ee)

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.

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