    There was a law written many moons ago that states "as soon as you light a fire we will send the winds to push it away from where you want to burn"......It was great to see the whole family pitching in helping to get the place all gussied up. Looks like you and Jessica deserved a cold beverage after it was all done.

      It's not so implausible, because the fire creates an updraught of hot air, so the air rushes in to fill the gap. We had the same effect when working in corn fields, all of a sudden a dust devil would take off, sucking winds in from 50 yards away. ( those were the days, before combine harvesters were invented..!)

    I like your methods for clearing brush better than the one that my dad instructed me to use. First, he showed me how to file an edge onto the axe. Then he gave me a pair of old work gloves . Instructions; Cut down all that brush, dead trees, and junk bushes, drag it over to that patch of bare Granite, pile it up as high as you can . We will burn it when the snow flies . Then he went back to following the doctor's order, recovering from the burn injury that he got at work .

    Just a piece of advice from a land owner fan from Washington State. Find a out of the way spot on your property, and dig a pit 5 ft or so deep, 5/6 wide and about 10 ft long and use this to burn your slash. All of the ash is contained in the pit and everything burns so much hotter and cannot spread. if you so desire, one end of the pit can be sloped as to where you can drive your JD down into it and clean out the ash. Great on the gardens. I dug mine with my JD 4100 4X4 and have used it to clean out the hole many times. Believe me, worth every bit of effort and so much safer. Been a fan of your show for a long time. Great family!!
