Default Re: Board-Feet

Someone mentioned waste previously. Ford didn't waste much of anything. The iron mountain Ford plant used the wood harvested from Ford land on the upper peninsula to use in the Ford assembly plants and those of the subcontractors as well. Any shipping container wood that was coming in to Ford plants was repurposed. At iron mountain, the sawmill and waste from other forming processes was used in the making of charcoal briquettes and for other fuel uses. Kingsford charcoal is still being produced to this day.
