Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Selecting a site Burying Trees Under Pond

I never try to burn a brush pile till it has aged at least 6 months and preferably a year. Let the wood cure and it will burn to almost nothing if a person will push the stumps to the middle as it burns down.

For the guys that have to burn immediately (like construction) a contractor buddy of mine says dig a hole, push the brush in, and keep feeding Diesel to the fire while adding trees as they are cleared. He says it takes lots of Diesel to burn green trees. That is here where we have Pin Oak and Elm which do not burn good green. Some other wood like Pine might burn better green.
