'I dont know whats in this jug, but it smells like itll burn' -Words of a brave, wiseman lmao

Good job getting the green stuff lit so well! The guys that did my clearing said they could burn it. Claimed they put 50 gallons of diesel on it. Left me with a total mess of a burn pile not stacked right, and nothing burned. Oh, and two pits on the ground, also full of trees that didn't burn. Worthless! I'm still cleaning up their mess nearly 10 months later! Keep up the good work Chris! You've been a great help to me with my projects

You are a true master of your craft. Excellent burn pile!

Whenever I have a big pile like that, my secret weapon is a gas powered leaf blower. Once it gets going, you force air into it and it is like a bellows. It will get the flames 20 feet high.

I got worried there when you got so close to light it and was waiting for a big "WOOOOFFF" but I guess since there was so oil mixed it and diesel, it burned slower.

Need you a good leaf blower. Really get those piles going. Can't beat it.

Nothing better than a big ass fire!!!

I like how you take the cardboard from the bag but burn it anyway

Here in BC Canada, if its soggy wet fir stumps, we use tires to make heat, once the heat gets going it is nearly impossible to smell the burning rubber. I like using old skidder/loader tires. A tire in center of the pile with some dry pallets, backed up with a leaf blower, stand back, it's gonna burn. I've used a retrofitted leaf blower with a 20' steel snorkel that is buried under the pile. Where the blower adapts on, a 1/4" copper diesel line for misted diesel from a jerry can is threaded in.

Thanks for making this video. I have four brush piles I need to burn. My papa left this world before we could burn it. I needed tips.

he’s refined his technique a lot. Now he has a sandwich bag and a bit of diesel. No fuss.

and remember a little never hurt anything but a lot will get it going!

After a guy set the leg of his pants alight burning the wood from cutting down diseased trees, we always wore shorts on the days that we were burning. We preferred heavier combat shorts of cutoff jeans and also rolled them well up to prevent any glowing embers floating up inside them. It may seem a bit crazy at first, but I would rather have a few small ember scorches on my legs than risk the burns from pants catching alight.

Loved the video. Thank you!

Any time you make a fire see the fire station first, second make sure you have the right wind blowing in the right direction, spray used oil to vegetation, third you must have a blower pushing air inside a pipe. You must stay the full time .

Not sure about a fire being carbon neutral, I take 3/4 used motor oil and 1/4 gas to light fires. Allows you to get a good hot fire without the explosion of straight gasoline.

A wood fire from Clearing is not carbon neutral, but it is better than chipping and burning tons of fossils fuels doing it. Old engine oil is a violation of EPA Clean air and hazardous waste act as it contains PCBs. That are highly carcinogenic. Diesel fuel, a sprayer and a leaf blower, or a positive ventilation fan, work better.

Around where I live they are so strict about burning they will only give u a permit when you have at least 6 inches of snow on the ground haha

You can do this safely with diesel/kerosene, but NOT gasoline/petrol. Hospitals are full of people who tried to light things with gas. My uncle is one. He poured no more than a cup of gas onto a hornet's nest. The gas vapors exploded around him and burned the skin off 80% of his body. He was in the burn unit for weeks.

Have you tried leaving one of these piles in the bush for a week or so just to let it dry? Not sure if you've done that already

I love burning idk why the fires power of destruction excites me.

Hope you got a method to push the un-burned outer stuff to the hot spots to burn. Otherwise there is a lot more heavy, dirty hot work involved. On our farm (5 or 6 decades ago) my dad always started it from the edges or ends and spread broken bales to carry the flames towards the center, eventually radiant heat set the center afire and clean-up was simpler. We used kerosene, gasoline was too dangerous to consider, but he did not allow any tossed on after the match was lit. BTW, who remembers "kitchen" matches that really did light when scratched on anything, not like today's "safety" matches that takes a Zippo to light them?

In Minnesota, If your caught using that fuel/oil mixture will result in A substantial fine.

Pour a 3/4 ring of fuel around the outside perimeter then light the middle and then light the outside ring. It will burn in on itself.

PS piling pallets on is way to much work, a sprayer and biodiesel is much easier, and environmentally safe especially with increased air from a leaf blower.

now there's my kinda job!

Seriously, that's the way to do it! We tend to throw old tires on our fires.

its amazing what a little fuel will do.

Fire! Fire! Fire! (Beavis voice)

Letsdig if u got some used oil and a tire that starts a fire pretty well thats the way we burn our brush and no money wasted

did moving it 4 ft really make a big difference?

You should do a hauling video. Hauling your equipment

could you make a video from when you start the job until it ends? in one go? or.. is that to much to ask?..

damn sure don't gotta worry about it spreading....

Every year up at my cabin we burn all the brush that fell and we get a pretty big pile and this year my dad brother and I got a can of lighter fluid and matches it started when I lit the match 5 feet away and eventually that thing got to about 25-30 feet and it was really hot even 15 feet away

Please share with me things to do when you want to burn something like now.

That’s how I blew up and ended up in the burn unit for a month in the worst pain of my life with skin graphs all over my body

I find diesel fuel in a garden sprayer works great for that

Makes me wanna buy ya some flares && just watch ya have at it 😂😂😂😂😂

yup but I've only had it happen a couple times

NICE VIDEO,YOUR GOOD AT BURNING SIR.XFROM ROB

How easy will dug up tree stumps burn in a pile like that?

leave chris alone he is doing his job +letsdig18

You need a leave blower and just let it idle and it will get the fire burning and push it back into the piles

2:19 is the moment you are looking for.

Don't forget to use a fan that helps create heat

Fire,, fire is a scary thing,have a hose handy,,I'm doing the same thing,, next to a big old pine tree,,wish me luck,😈

get you a fan blowing on that fire, burns quicker with less ash

Obvio bueno

Other than that very nice burn pile

can't wait

One way to cover the pile with fuel is to fill the bucket on the machine with fuel and pour it .

When you have large lumber, and you want to burn it dispose the lumber down as a square, ten by te , now build over the square, only the perimetro, now again load the platform, remember to spray the used oil. cover with small stuff , push the air inside a large pipe , use a blower, do not go way.
