    You bet you can.

    Thats usually how the scrap and tops are "cleaned up" (same day) once a tree gets dropped at the cottage. Whether it be spring or summer.

    Sizzles till it smokes.

    When it gets hot and roaring (chooching) you don't hear any sizzle at all!

    Brush piles form the tops are great for that.

    Yep, I haven't seen sun to speak of since Sunday. Had to drive to the middle of the state for that. Gloom & fog rain & clouds here. I'll take a good freeze up & snow over this crap. Too close to the lake for the air to dry out this time of year.

    Nice Dave and it can keep you warm too! It could also keep the skeeters away but we suspect that problem has been solved.

    Sadly, last night while hunting, I saw skeeters. Saw lots of rain too.
