What Y'all getting into today?

[Idajack]

Wife left yesterday for 10 days with her Fam in Hawaii on a cruise. I'm holding down the fort. Got a metric ass ton of work to do outside. Just the residual mess from the ice storm will take the weekend.

How the feck do people burn piles of leaves? I can't ever get them to burn they just smother out. Don't wanna bag like 40 bags.

Kerosene. 

And love.

3 parts used motor oil 2 parts stale gasoline is what we used to burn slash piles when clearing after timber harvests, had to wait for the first 3-4” snowfall before we burned to keep the rest of the forest from burning too and it never failed to get a good burn going. 
For leaves I imagine you’d want to douse em good then toss them to get some air in the mix, fire is really all about heat and air, fuel is negotiable
