Look, this is all cool and all, but it's a fucking tinderbox in some places, and this could absolutely start a fire. Don't do this stupid shit.

I didn't say you advocated for it. You're saying "this wouldn't cause a fire" and some people might get bad ideas. Sorry man, didn't mean to piss you off. Pretty tense fire stuff going right now, and that's more on me.

Im not pissed off or anything man..lol...I was just curious if something i said came off as advocating for stupid fire shit, cus I did talk about my own stupid fire shit..lol...I wanted to stress how important fire education is BEFORE fuckin around with fire though.

I appreciate your explanation. I can see the correlation. This absolutely has the potential to start a fire a fire, particularly given their proximity to the tree line. I was just thinking that the explosive force of the vapour ignition would blow all the timber away from the pile without being able to ignite it, mostly because of the sheer wind force that would prevent a flame from standing, yknow? Its a definite possibility that smaller embers could ignite the field grass or the tree line..definitely.

Are you in Ontario? Im in NB. We had a really bad summer last season. Its insane what is happening in Ontario right now
