Burning The Brush Piles

All of our cleaning up has resulted in numerous brush piles in various places.  We have been scared to burn them because of the size of some of them and the dry conditions.  Well with El Nino here with all of its rainy conditions, we have started some burning activity.
First Peg pours diesel all over the pile,

then I light it,

and the pile starts to burn.

Here we have two piles going.  With the wet conditions of the surrounding grasses, there is little chance of the fires getting away from us.  We still watch each fire to make sure none does.

Twenty-four hours later this is what is left.  It started raining before this fire had completely burned everything up.  It is amazing how well everything burns.  We'll collect these remains and will put them into another pile we'll burn next time.
