Gas or Kerosene??

[LAWNS AND MOWER]

:blob2:
This lady wants me to burn her brush pile this spring. I did some burning for her a couple years ago but can't remember if I used Kerosene or gas. I do remember I almost burned down her 100 foot willow tree from the initial flare-up!!!! What's better-- Kerosene or gas or does it really matter????

Kerosene

Wont have the initial big flame up.

It is illegal here to burn debris.

Desil works the best. That is what I use.

Down here in Florida all you do is call and get a burn permit that is free and burn away.

cover the hole pile with K~1 or #1 Diesel then where you want to actually start the pile on fire pour about a pint of gas on there then throw a match~NaTe

Kerosene and deisel are very similar in properties.

Waste engine oil works well good, burns real slow to get it light and so do an old car tyres.

Use Kerosene!

[greensman]

Kerosene, deisel, and fuel oil are pretty much the same.
use kerosene it will be the clean burner.

man using gas can get u hurt ,im sure u know that.
tires really make a long burn ,but can attract the wrong kind of attention. smoke is thick and black and holds togather like its glued. id get a firegoing small and push your fuel onto it.
seenum burn for weeks.later now,by the way tires wk great if u are far enough out, to get away with it.

If you want singed eye browse, use gas. Other wise I'd use the Kerosene.

Use charcoal lighter fluid. Very safe and wont smoke as bad as diesel or kero. Or for you tree hugger types, use fireplace starter sticks.

call me a tree hugger but please reconsider we have an environment that we have to live with for some time...

dear l&m--after reading your barbs thrown at your fellow statesmen I am compelled to address your question.

after all, both TENNESSEE and n. carolina were both formerly known as the state of FRANKLIN. but that was some time ago.

on to your question. I suggest that 92 octane gasoline will burn just about any brush pile that you can propose. the thing to do is to make sure that you pour the gas on and let it make a very large vapor cloud.

I'd say stand real close when you light it but then I couldn't really propose that to a fellow statesman now could I?

Now Now Geo.

I don't think we want to suggest that to him, after all it would cost to much to send flowers and cards to the burn unit.

I heard adding 104 octain boost burns realy good too.

Geo,

Thanks for your wonderful advice. We can only hope that when the brush pile fire gets out of hand, the wind will be blowing in the direction of the Volunteer state. Don't get me wrong. Tennessee is a great state.........................................to visit. I'll actually be in your neck of the woods in March. I would like to sample some of your moonshine when visiting!!!!!
