I managed to get about an hour (finally) and it was heavenly!
I dropped the bucket and ratchet rake (I had to set it on a log so I could easily grab it again) and picked up the grapple.
I used a paper bag from 50 lbs cracked corn full of paper out of my shredder and some pine straws and built a quickie burn pile, only 10' round and 6-7 feet tall. One big pine stump dropped on top like a cherry on an ice cream sunday! Let me tell you my home-made fire starter worked as good as "boy scout juice" to start the fire! 3 kitchen matches and stand back!
I had been making some hand stacked piles of larger logs for quick grappeling and it worked! I was dropping large loads on a hot fire!
Seat Time is awesome!
Be well,
David
