Bonnie found these great directions (thanks!) – what to add to pinecones and wax to make pretty colors in your fireplace at GardenWeb forums. The secret ingredients seem to be table salt, no-salt substitute, and borax, cool. Last year for a weekend in a cabin with no heat but a fireplace I brought along a Magic Yule Log which burned colors. Making your own would be much less expensive.
