I do burn some thicker stuff but mostly diseased wood and things like
raspberry canes that occur too late in the season to rot down in time
for next year.

Old raspberry canes make very good small stakes for a variety of
purposes, like thin bamboo.

In our case, as we have a wood fire in winter, they also make good
kindling.
