Can t get it to burn
It's good that it's done. Guess it's after the fact now, but some volunteer fire departments will do burns for residents as part of fire crew training. Cripes, we've even flushed out drilled wells and been asked to fill a swimming pool as part of training.
Around here you'd need a permit for such a burn and likely would need a fire warden on the site. At the moment we may still have a fire ban. Good to know of any rules that apply before starting.
Structure can be everything in fires. I just figured out how backfires work. The idea is that big fires draw air from the all around and create winds towards the fire. If you get down wind and close enough, a fire can be lit that the main fire will draw towards itself. In theory, when the two fires collide, there's nothing left to burn and they both go out. Of course, saying and doing are different things and us municipal volunteer fighters aren't in the buz of backfires.

Can t get it to burn
Around here on the highway there are plastic bottles of what locally is known as truckers' lemonade. One ended up in the middle of our drive. A real delight! At our camp, a few years' back somebody dumped an RV holding tank about 200' from both our front doors and not much further to our dug wells. Even more of a delight!
I'm sort of off RV's lately. They frequently use the mowed and fenced yard at our camp as if it were a public rest stop that somebody else was paid to clean up and nobody minds if it's used for doggy relief. A bunch of RV owner's should know better. It's not my fault if people buy such behemoths that the only place they can eat lunch is at a truck stop. Well, there are two real rest stops within short driving distances either direction from our camp. Good scenery there and you can even turn the behemoths around. Well, most owners could, but I wouldn't mind seeing a requirement for driver's licenses that commercial drivers of anything that big have to have.

Can t get it to burn
Before the pile was successfully burnt I was wondering if jamming a length of old culvert into the centre of the pile at the bottom of the pile would help. Same idea as the leaf blower I guess but it may get air to the center of the pile without having to blow it through tightly packed brush.
