Here is the start of our future burn pile. Don't worry about those tree limbs that appear to be over the pile, it's a trick of perspective by the camera angle. The pile is actually in a large open space. It's some of the tree debris from the trimming that was done last weekend.
We had a small one HERE a few months ago (way back when it was cold, ha), but it was pretty small.
We do not, however, want something like this:

It will most likely be Fall, when the weather is cooler and the days are shorter, when we burn it. I just have to make sure I don't add so much to it that it doesn't become something akin to a bonfire that's two stories tall. If it looks like it might be getting too big to burn, I have no problem with burning it early, even if it's not truly "cold" outside.
Anyone else in the country do a "burn pile"? Any tips or suggestions, other than a water hose nearby?
