[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 740538, member: 4362"] For fields I harrow around it first. Set the fire on the downwind side and let this back into the field about 60-100 feet all the while looking for jumps. Once its at this distance I begin setting a backing flank fire along the side that is more prone for a wind shift. Once this is going fine and all looks good I ring it as quickly as possible. Once rung the fire will create its own wind and draw everything to the center. It will look like a bomb going off but by its drawing everything to the center it will force the brands toward the center and pull them hundreds of feet into the air and they will be out by the time they ever reach the ground. Never had a problem using this method on grass land. Just a tip that could come in handy. If you have one that jumps you can use your pickup truck to plow dual brake in front of the flames by pressing your brake peddle and gas at the same time and spinning your wheels. Saw this done once and was impressed but I always keep a harrow handy. [/QUOTE]
