As fall rolls around and its time to take in the hammock and clean off 
the BBQ tools, I start a "burn bag" or two, Just paper grocery bags 
that I start filling up with scraps that haven't proven as useful as I 
thought they would be.  When the family wants a fire in the fireplace 
during the (semi) cold months here in Northern Cal, we start with the 
nice split logs but then the burn bag comes up from the garage and lots 
of well dried and oddly shaped hardwood gets stoked in there as well.

then I'm left with mostly ply scraps and straight pieces longer than a 
foot.

My scrap wood  "assortment" would fill about 6 to 10 of those.

I think I need to be more, uh, "selective" in choosing which offcuts and
scraps to keep...
