   I've not noticed the thought of using nut shells for smoke source,
   but it is an interesting idea.  I do recall seeing a discussion that
   one good way to get to the nutmeat in black walnuts was to put them
   into a sack and run over them with a car -- and no, I'm not kidding
   either.   My neighbor across the street has collected them
   occasionally from the woods behind our house.   The first problem is
   getting the softer outer shell off without applying a semi-permanent
   stain to your body parts.   Long rubber gloves are appropriate.
   Myself, I'd just leave them for the squirrels.   Have you ever seen a
   squirrel running along with a walnut treasure in his mouth?  That is
   a sight to behold.

  That is something I would not try.

  HAW yourself.   On a serious note, when we used our fireplace years
  ago, I'd use newspaper as the base for the starter kindling etc.   The
  things I read said not to use comic pages because of some of the
  things in the colored inks.
