I can believe that,,, the shakes I got for my house was sawed tapers (called Hollywood Shakes) or another name was heavies, and they would burn in a hurry and hot and cinders flying sky high ,, I had to be careful even burning the splinters from cutting them to fit ,,when I piled them out back of my house with the big firs and cedars ..
