I save 3-4 paper sacks of paper items to burn. Wait for a decent rain that you expect to rain for a while and go and shove those paper sacks into the hole in the middle and light them. I did this and went back into house and watched it burn like a torch. Only parts that didn't burn were the branches on the very edges of the pile. Any sparks that flew up were quickly extinguished by the rain.Diane Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956317176050360060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-80796697054968951042013-04-23T08:44:31.242-04:002013-04-23T08:44:31.242-04:00Oh, you are so right!

The cage should keep that from happening again!<br /><br />~LLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-11382040168510049102013-04-19T08:23:50.974-04:002013-04-19T08:23:50.974-04:00They use burn barrels around here too.

The fire whips up and around violently, but it doesn't go anywhere! <br /><br />Try that recipe, it's so yummy! Also, it's easy to half if you don't want a full pan.

The nice thing about living in the sticks is that they don't try to tell us what to do about much of anything. Building, burning...they don't care! lol<br /><br />~LLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-52982447304283727052013-04-19T07:50:13.491-04:002013-04-19T07:50:13.491-04:00I burn a lot of mail!

Looked just like the garbage cans use to look when I was a kid, but if it was too windy we did not burn. While it might be ugly I think it is pretty cool, thanks for sharing on Tuesday's With a Twist, please stop by again next week, and tell us what's burning. <br /><br />Now off to check out your cheesecake bar recipe, I have been searching for a recipe hope yours is the winner.

I hardly think that is the main cause of pollution around here. More like the 50 million cars on the roads everyday, all the planes that the rich folk fly in all the time and then try and tell me to lower my carbon footprint. Okay I am ranting. Cool thingy though.Sunny Simple Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442975157454720956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1543427408513948174.post-54479881761644826562013-04-14T06:42:44.932-04:002013-04-14T06:42:44.932-04:00I have lots of old documents that need to go throu...I have lots of old documents that need to go through the shredder right now.

In the spring it's too windy to burn, and in the fall we're afraid of setting the corn field on fire with that huge bonfire next to it. What to do. This was a great post.
