I also did a controlled burn in an overgrown pasture. That burn almost got out of hand because the wind came up that morning before the burn was completed. After that burn I have not done another controlled burn because an "UN Controlled Burn" is not good. Weather has to be perfect for a burn.
We called in a controlled burn for a pasture this spring. The conditions were perfect for a control burn. It created so much smoked that drifted into town that the fire department did a "courtesy" check to see if the fire got out of control. Apparently a lot of people had their windows open.
