I now live near a pine tree and don't know what to do with all of the pine cones. Decorations? Just burn them in a fire pit? Any ideas welcome.

Depends on the type of pine tree. Lot of the uses mentioned by others are dependent on the type. If you can identify the type, I’d try searching it.

In addition to the uses some have mentioned, some have medicinally useful compounds that can be extracted by alcohol.
