The gorgeous old sawdust/woodscrap burner

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.

Looks like a silo! I hadn't seen that kind of model before.

Yes, they are hard to find. As far as I can discern, this one was built here around 1910-15. It's in much better shape than wigwams, maybe because it is lined. I also wonder if the steel is heavier than the later ones.
