Ill sure post a picture once I get the new motor on the strawblower. I have a hole behind the shop that was an old road bed where I burn most of my wood waste it was a dumpsite for the previous owner. We brought home the scraper and filled it in and we take in concrete and concrete and asphaltand such filling in the hole. The last 4 yearsthe backside has filled up the trash brush like devils walking stick and other quick growers. I need some fill dirt for a few little jobs and I decided to clean the brush out of the bottom of the road bed and excavate there. For fun I had some old propane grill bottles with out of date numbers and bad threads. I couldnt use them on my burn table so I lit a road flre and chunked it at the end of the underbrush then opened the valve on the bottle and chunked it off the pile and trotted around by the scrp pile when it took it was awesome. a big whoosh. The bottle did good towards the end it gave a big pop. It just singed all the little tress up to 10 feet and all the tons of honey suckle. Also found the remains of mice feild rats and gopher rats about 15 in all. The taller trees are singed enough to burn later. My neighbors all heard the racket and saw the smoke. The new ones are getting used to it by now.
