The gorgeous old sawdust/woodscrap burner

On the former site of a defunct mill, Modoc Lumber Co., a remnant of the formerly booming lumber industry of southern Oregon. Those days are long gone. Thankfully, this old burner was left standing. It's about 100 ft. tall. Used until the 1970s to incinerate sawdust from the mill. They were terrific polluters and started the occasional grass fire, so their use was banned. Also, new uses were found for mill by-products and they continue to be developed.

This one is unusual in that it's the older cylindrical brick-lined type, first designed at the end of the 19th century. The wigwam, or teepee style (cone-shaped) is the later and much more common type.
