Cool! As a recent immigrant to BC, I've never seen one of these beehive burners. Thanks to this article, I now know their history. I'll look for them as I drive around the province. Also, thanks for introducing us to Jasper. :)
On highway One in Malakwa, BC, there is a reconstructed Burner, called “The Burner” with a beautiful interior -restaurant, not currently open, but gets a new life now and then.
NIce write up. When I see the shapes, I don't see bee hives. I see industrial teepees. I know that is weird, but there it is.
I've heard them called teepee burners, but I grew up with the name beehive burner :)

Definitely worth a stop!
