Just the heat from the burn (not the flames) set the grass on fire

Some embers dropped, but it was hot enough I had to back up. 10’ and your losing eyebrows.

The fire hazard is why we moved away from a real tree.

Post Christmas bonfires were always the best. Few Christmas trees + a few pallets & you're set

What a waste. Fine someone with a lake and I’m sure they’ll be glad to have your old tree. They make great crappie beds.

Demolition Ranch did a nice video showing several years' worth of burning trees on New Year's, with some explosive ornaments thrown in for good measure.

This year they burned 120 Christmas Trees,

When we were kids, our dad took the tree out to the yard and put a match to it to show us how dangerous they could be. Sucker went up like it was soaked in gas. It made a hell of an impression.

I wonder why the branches on the bottom right took so long to catch.
