    Burning a chunk of Lindenwood listening to the beagle run rabbits in the bean field.

    Couple nights ago. Sat outside with the Wif and a Scotch. Burned up a bunch of old financial records that I didn't shred. Nice relaxing time! firering3.jpg

    The leaf blowers are great aren’t they! I also use this system when burning the wet gum leaves and sticks around my place it’s a gal water pipe with the air compressor blower on the other end. Poked ito the guts of the fire it really cranks and it’s great watching the stuff above self implode into the fire. That’s an old washing machine drum on a chopped up ibc frame.

    Funny you say that I’ve found large lumps of a molten slag type material from dirt and crap that’s ended up in the fire. Pretty hot like a blacksmiths forge.

    I had a poor draft on my outdoor fire pit. So I fixed it with an air intake, and an inline fan. And then discovered that forced air intakes don't last very long (seconds, actually) when they're a forced air exhaust, which is why you see a 2nd (melted) one on the ground.

    I call it production burning. LOL Haven't found anything that I can't burn yet!

    Nice little patio you have right there. I'll be sure not to show this pic to 99 lbs.......:whistle:

    Next- Whats up with those red dots on your shoes?

    Is the bottom of that fire pan glowing red and they're reflecting it?

    Or do you mark them for distinguishing left and right? :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol: You could always write "TGIF" on them if thats the case. :thumbs:
