The sawdust burner, about 70 ft. tall

These gigantic incinerators were used to dispose of sawdust at lumber mills. Use was discontinued in the 1970s due to pollution and because new products were being manufactured using sawdust. This one was probably built between 1920-30. The mill (Modoc Lumber) was torn down about 15 years ago.

This one is unusual in that it's the older cylindrical brick-lined type, first designed at the end of the 19th century. The wigwam, or teepee style (cone-shaped) is the later and much more common type.
