Disposing of Poultry Bones

A great cold-weather method of getting rid of bones from chicken and turkey feasts is to burn them in your wood stove. Get the fire roaring, then feed a handful in at a time; don't do too much at once, particularly if they are wet. It may take a couple of days for the bones to be completely consumed, but it really works. My neighbor told me about this trick a while back, since I have lots of these bones left after I make the cat's food. Don't try this in an open fireplace, though!
