This year, instead of bringing everything to the fire pit, I gathered 4 grocery bags of the "splinters" that you always end up with from processing. I use it for fire starters in the wood furnace and have already gone through one of those bags. Probably should have grabbed a few more bags of them..... Once the colder weather gets here, I'll be burning 24/7 and won't need to re-start the furnace. I'll bet I burned 3-4 piles the size of the one in your pic!
We always keep a good bit kindling. But just burn all the stuff. We like a nice clean area after stacking a few cords. gods country right there.
Nah, that was just a marshmallow roasting fire by local standards. People will bulldoze acres of woods here and burn the entire thing in one blaze..... I'm planning to get pics of one of em here in the next couple weeks.
(Not my fire.) Went to a local Christmas light-switching-on ceremony last night. Every year they’ve got fire pits with Swedish torches spread all around for people to huddle around. Singing and music, warm cider/cocoa, some funky spiritual dancing. Santa arrives on a fire truck and stays for some lap-sitting (I didn’t partake this year). I love it so much.
White Pine, Ponderosa Pine & Red Cedar taking down this summer at the township cemetery. As per usual, not a whiff of air moving, I light the fire, voila the wind picks up. I figured with rain/snow forecast in the morning it would be good time to light it up. It only got away a little bit, not that I am too worried about it.
Ain't that something how that works....... Same thing happened to me yesterday.....dead still before I torched it..... then, wind a plenty!!!!
Last fire of January Getting rid of some pizza boxes and a couple of American flags that have outlived their purpose. *edit - come to think of it, it's also my first fire in January.
The sun came out. What fun is that? At least it was flurrying while I was out. Now it's time for more coffee and enjoy the indoor fire.
Built a new pit. 631 scraper wheel I cut the center out. Our initials cut in, but thinking about cutting some windows in it to see the fire. This thing throws the heat
I" thick metal. She's acting like a rocket stove. I put some 4" metal spacers on the bottom for draft
