GIJOE985 - If you're still searching for large pieces of cardboard for your Cardboard Aided Design, stop by a furniture store. Lots of stuff gets shipped in large boxes with big flat pieces; they'll probably part with some for you.

A furniture shop up the street from me has several large boxes, unbroken, just waiting on the sidewalk about twice a week for pickup. They don't even think about recycling. A few times I've gathered enough cardboard to shove into the wood stove for a quick burn, about an hour's worth.

A cardboard fire will tell you if your stove is sealed. Mine isn't. Dang it gets hot. Gotta fix that.
