Mini Hickory Logs?

[Sterling1113]

So I found these, and everything I can find out about them makes me think they would be safe. ----> Char-Broil Hickory Wood Mini Logs 25 lbs.-4915306 at The Home Depot

I mean they're all natural, and 25lbs is allot.. chop it up and drill it and use it for all sorts of toys! Has anyone ever used them?

Thanks!

That should be safe, since its intended to make human food with. Granted, that's just an assumption, but I know hickory is safe and there are serious rules about treating wood that is intended for grills/smokers.

I plan on using Wendy's method, it is the cheapest AND it's how they make commercial toys !!

I plan on cutting/drilling them myself(don't really care to dye, none of my birds have a preference of colors or non.) I just don't have wood that grows near me that I can 'harvest'. I know there's some horse apple trees at a park, but I'd have to contact the city and find out if they use pesticides of any kind and if they'd mind if I collected fallen branches. So if I can get 25lbs of safe wood from home depot then that's just fine with me haha.

And I was thinking the same thing, Phlox. If it's safe to burn and cook with, I don't see why not. I just didn't know if anyone else has used them.

well I don't know how much dying I'm going to do BUT the 1 1/2 dowels, 2X2's and 2X3's are VERY Very cheap (an 8foot 2X2 is like $2)

EDIT, oh yeah the point was they are safe

Okay thank you!! Haha I really enjoyed the thread I was just confused as nothing was said about where the wood came from! Lol. I'll look into the wood you mentioned also whenever I go.
