It was built to burn waste wood and bark from the nearby sawmill; it is the only known example of this type of waste burner surviving in Michigan,[2] and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1] HistoryIn 1881, George Farnsworth and his partners in Wisconsin's Oconto Lumber Company[2] founded the Bay de Noquet (later Bay de Noc[3]) Lumber Company.[4] The company immediately built a sawmill in Nahma, along the northern coast of Lake Michigan, opening it in 1882.[2] Fires were problematic, and the Nahma sawmill was destroyed by fire in 1889 and again in 1899.[4] In response, the company built this wastewood burner, located on a small nearby island, to eliminate the sawmill waste.[4] Although the exact construction date is not known, it was some time between 1888 and 1893;[2] it is not unlikely that the burner was built after the 1889 fire.[4] The sawmill was destroyed yet again in 1923.[2] The company rebuilt, and continued to log the surrounding area[3] and use the waste burner.[2] However, available timber supplies were dwindling, and the mill shut down permanently in 1951.[2] DescriptionThe Bay de Noquet Lumber Company Waste Burner is a round tower, {{convert|32|ft}} in diameter on the outside and approximately {{convert|100|ft}} tall.[2] It is constructed of cast iron plates lined with brick, and sits on a {{convert|6|ft}} high limestone foundation.[2] The exterior iron plates are rectangular, and are placed in horizontal rows with a slight overlap between adjacent plates.[2] The lowest five rows have an additional strap to prevent the structure from bulging outward.[2] The lowest row contains arched openings penetrating into the interior of the burner, apparently used to remove ashes.[2] A larger opening about halfway up the structure was originally used to dump waste via a conveyor into the burner.[2] A wire mesh dome, put in place to prevent embers from escaping, covers the top, and a weathervane inscribed with "B. de N. Co." is in place at the very top.[4] The interior brick is about {{convert|18|in}} thick in the lower {{convert|30|ft}} and about {{convert|8|in}} thick in the next {{convert|24|ft}}.[2] Above that level the burner is unlined.[2] This construction is very similar to that found in the 1888 patent issued to Muskegon Boiler Works.[2] The burner is located on low ground near Lake Michigan, in a position that was at one time about {{convert|60|ft}} east of the sawmill proper.[2] However, all traces of the sawmill have been erased, save for wooden pilings along the shore and the waste burner itself.[2] A golf course now occupies the former site of the mill.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web | title = Weekly List of Actions Taken on Properties: 4/04/11 through 4/08/11 | publisher = National Park Service | date = April 15, 2011 | url = http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/listings/20110415.htm | accessdate = April 5, 2012}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 {{citation | title = National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Bay de Noquet Lumber Company Waste Burner | author = Robert O.
