  Can t get it to burn

I asked a local contractor who does a lot of lot clearing, he says it is a real problem if the fire is not started correctly. He claims that after years of experimenting he has finally hit on a reasonably succesful method.

After he piles the brush together he inserts a length of 3" plastic water pipe into the center, or as close as he can get to it, on about a 45 degree angle, and another along the ground, again as close to the center as possible. He then pours a small amount of gasoline down the angled pipe and ignites it with a spark plug soldered on a length of thin wire. He claims the initial flare-up sarts a convection of hot air and flame going up the vertical'ish pipe which draws air in the horizontal pipe and creates a blast furnace effect which continues long after the pipe has melted/burned away.

Other than the blast issue when it's first lit, I don't think the plastic pipe burning is a great idea either, but he maintains it's such a small amount he burns (2 6' pieces) that it's inconsequential.

IMHO, a brush chipper and the resulting compost is a better method, but that's just me.

Best of luck.

I am glad to see that I am not the only person to have some trouble burning a pile of brush. Hopefully with some of these ideas it will be easier in the future.
