burning piles

[denoginnizer]

I used a couple of store bought "fire logs" the other day to start some piles on fire and they worked great. The thing burns for three hours acording to the package. A lot less messy than carrying diesal and safer than playing with some gasoline mixes.

I got some "votive candels"the ones in the metal ring....set them under a log ,it'll burn a long time,and the melted wax helps the fire

FLARES!! Work the best in dry brush piles fair in green ones the ones stamped FUSE EE work the best, they have something in them that drips white hot!

If I ever run out of old tires that I'm trying to get cleaned up, I will keep that in mind. Until then, Firestone is the fire starter.

old tires and some diesal workes for me. It is a good way to get rid of some tires too. Just put some tires in when you start the pile.

You let that black smoke from a tire hit the air around here and the EPA will be on you before the fire gets a good start.Z

That's what I'm screaming Milliron.

[Beefy]

A lot of states have banned burning tires, Wyoming among them. That black smoke is a dead give-away, and will have the sheriff on you like a duck on a june bug!

Another tip - never keep a hold of the container after throwing the match, either! I think I lost 10 years of my life that day. :shock:

Good tip, warpaint. But you didn't go far enough. Never mix fire and gas in any way, shape, form, or fashion. No joke. Most folks have to learn this for themselves, however. I learned it back in 1968.

Truer words were never spoken! I screwed up, got the wrong overhead fuel tank and ended up with gasoline instead of diesel fuel. I didn't even realize it until I had splashed the contents around the burn pile, lit and tossed the match, and the flames were following the vapor trail - right back to the glass jar in my hand. Scared the hell out of me! :shock: :shock:
