    Young man when you get to the point your starting fires underwater I would buy a front row seat for the event, you definitely have the nack for starting fires and getting them to burn down to ashes. Thanks for the update, always a treat to see an LD18 fire sir.

    One thing I definitely wasn't surprised when Chris said it was about how he's the only guy who could get a bonfire roaring in a pouring down wannabe monsoon rain.
    We all know that by the time those piles are done burning there won't be enough left to roart some hot dogs and smores.
    Definitely topped off my Sunday night RUclips watching.
    Saved the best for last I did.

    Like watching you load up the wood when restacking the burn piles. Envious with being able to pick and choose and re-position the unburned pieces for a better fire. The excavator with thumb is a great choice.

    Love your burning videos. Seeing that big pile burn ragingly during a huge downpour gives such great insight into the wildfires we have out West. We'll get some rain and the question always is: 'Why didn't it help?' Thanks for your entertainment, education, and example. Your videos are worth stopping whatever I'm doing so I can watch them.😁Thanks

Heating wood in the absence of oxygen has long been a way of making charcoal. And it is still done that way even today.

      I'm well past the age you think I am. My 56th birthday was yesterday. I was studying for most of my life. I was possibly studying automobiles more than you were alive. I additionally went to middle school. Since 1980, the federal government changed this. They got rid of middle school, which they put with primary school. You should never assume you know about another person who you didn't meet before. When the ash surrounded that stump, it was cool enough not to burn it severally. It was especially cooler at the bottom of it because it had more time to cool. Could you think of any other way it was able to be? It's quite logical to me.

      @@landrelarose745 Middle school still exists. Maybe not where you are but it does here. So the US Federal Government didn't get rid of them. In fact there is one less than a mile from me right now. So you are 56, add more than 12 to that to get my age. So by the time you were born I had been in 6 different elementary schools, and one junior high school. Both types varied as to which grades they had depending on where I was. 5 of the 6 were 1-6 with the other as 1-5. The JR high had 6-8. As far as autos go, I was rebuilding them/ driving them when you were just going to elementary school. You were 6 years old when I bought my first car. Yes ash can serve to insulate but a hot enough fire will still cook off the gases and produce charcoal.
