I would love to do a controlled burn but am absolutely gutless when it comes to matches and wood. I've seen the result too many times. Make sure firebreaks are in place, don't burn if wind is high, burn against the wind and burn small areas at a time so it doesn't get outta hand. The pucker factor is high when doing it, and I don't relax until the day after when I know there aren't any hot spots that can rekindle. We just torched cattails at a friends pond the other day. There was a dry grassy area right along side of them, and we were able to keep the fire contained to just the dead cattails. This will make it easier for him to control the new ones that pop up. He's tired of having the "buffet open" sign out for the muskrats. They are starting to call the dam home - not good!
