Beehive burners were originally used to burn the excess wood that could not be used in lumber production. Because of the harmful effects of air pollution and today's ability to use nearly 100 % of the log, they are no longer in use. This burner was acquired by Le Pas Lumber after burners were phased out in 1997.3
