I have had very little BBQ time this year, but usually I BBQ often enough that I use it for fire starter. Just set in in loose piles. built a teepee of kindling over it, light, when the kindling gets going start loading the bigger stuff until you get a good head of smoke going then choke it off to the desired temp range…

So far this year, I have had to dispose of 1 55 gallon bag of shavings / dust, the other was used by myself, and a mechanic friend of mine as oil absorbent to handle oil spills…
