I have failed at redneck 101.
Mar 1, 2022, 2:35 PM
|

Sunday, I raked up a bunch of leaves that were under my shed (RIP), and rather than spend an hour bagging them and toting the bags to the street, I decided I'd burn them. That was about 1:00 on Sunday.
After using a whole bottle of charcoal lighter fluid on it (bought specifically for this purpose), all I have done is smoke out my neighbors, made the back bedroom small like a cigarette, and create a black smoldering mound of leaves that's about 2/3 the size leaf pile I started with.
2 days later it's STILL smoldering (even after it rained Sunday night), so I can't even bag all that mess up and let the yard waste guys haul it off.
What do jounge?

I use diesel. And you gotta get air in there.

mix in some downed limbs that will burn longer and keep the leaves burning, or at least stir that pile o black a little so the burning leaves can get more air.
diesel is great because it is not combustible, sticks to brush, and burns a while. One of those manure forks/pitch forks with about 4-5 tines works good for stirring a pile.
My brush pile always has a lot of limbs in it, and is kinda airy. But I don't burn it very often, so the bottom is pretty much compost. When I light mine, in 3-4 places on a pile about 10 ft in diameter and 5 ft high, it blazes big for 10-15 min. sometimes I spray with the hose to cool it down a little. Then it continues to burn down to a pile of coals and compost for maybe 30 min. At that point, it's 90% gone. That last 10% smolders for a day or two, just a wisp of smoke, even if I soak it down and/or it rains.
I redneck purty good.

I think i'm going to put whatever is left in big yard waste
Mar 1, 2022, 3:39 PM

paper bags.
Then let it sit in the front yard until it combusts. That should look cool in the back of the big truck that carries off that stuff.

For the record, you're talking about a 3 Liter bottle, yes?

Does it have to be generic, or can it be name brand soda?
