I liked the praise God part 😂🙌
Always!!
It would help to mention wind as a variable. A lot of people don't consider wind speeds that could be checked before lighting.
Yes good catch! Winds should be less than 10mph with an ideal of 5mph.
My brother did the same, adding fuel with the bottle, he caught fire, thank God he was near the river, he ran onto the wharf and jumped in
Thanks for sharing
Enjoyed brush fire thanks!
You are most welcome! I hope it was helpful!
I have a pile I need to burn right now after Hurricane Idalia. It's probably 20 ft diameter and 8 ft tall. I've done bigger in the past and a good idea is to cut the debris to be as compact as possible. This will restrict oxygen so the flames don't shoot very high. Still my biggest fire had flames higher then the tree line.
Good idea! We do try to keep it as compact as possible but sometimes those trees have to burn as is!
Thanks
Hallo, toll erledigt. Wenn ich so etwas bei uns in Österreich machen würde wäre sofort die Polizei da. Und es wäre teuer. Lg
Wir müssen die Verbrennung registrieren, damit sie davon wissen. Aber ansonsten dürfen wir das. Es hilft enorm, weil es auf einer Farm so viel gibt, das losgeworden werden muss. Dies ist also eine relativ einfache Möglichkeit, dies sicher zu tun.
If youre far away from other trees why would there be any concern for an incident? Im new to burn piles im trying to learn
It really depends on your surroundings. Anything from grass to mulch can catch fire and spread. And we don’t have a nearby water source so for us we choose to be extra cautious. I hope that helps!
It helps a lot. Thank you!
Wish we had a better view of the setup with the cardboard and fluid
Oh good idea! Sorry about that. I'll see if we can get a better video next time we burn :)
Wow. That’s a large fire.
Absolutely! That’s why it’s super important to only burn when you know what you’re doing. ❤️
Thank you. I am in central Texas and will burn later this week.
That's kind of a big pile. I need to do this but the pile should be only half that size. The heat and smoke can be irritating. Other than that, I guess you had fun playing with fire that day. I'm just wondering how much work it was removing all of those trees in the first place!?
You definitely only want to burn as much as you can handle. We would’ve never taken this on as our first or even 5th time around. I believe this was somewhere around burn 15 or so. It honestly was more work getting the trees there than the fire itself 😂 But, we also let the pile build over time and only burn when the weather is right, so if the pile shouldn’t get any bigger, we wait to add more til the weather has allowed us to get rid of the current pile. It’s an ebb and flow…I hope that makes sense 😊
Y'all from California?
Haha nope. Born and raised in KS but got here to TX as fast as a week could 😊
Thanks for the tips. I have two turkey houses im removing on some land i bought and need to burn the wood
Glad it helped!
