Hollow black gum tree fire

[hackberry jake]

We had a dead black gum tree next to the pond that has been making us nervous for a while. We took it down the safest and easiest way possible.

A nice rotten white (paper) birch in the middle of swamp in winter  ;)

I am glad you shared that. I have always wanted to do it but just never did. Did it burn to almost nothing? I bet there was hardly no mess at all.

That was pretty good, y'all shoot anvils there too?  That's on my bucket list.

[hackberry jake]

The only remnants are some ashs scattered around and a small half burnt hickory that was next to it. I have never shot anvils, but would like to try it!

[LaneC]

Down here you barely even have to lead the anvils :D :D :D

We burnt a huge pin oak at my grand parents homeplace that way once...  3 of us couldn't reach around this thing and it was hollow and had been dropping limbs for awhile.   It was a pile of coals the next day.
