I do it like that.
Mine do not light that fast, but it does work.

Well, how did he do it? Diesel? I know he used a propane torch, but I did not think it would go up so fast...:confused2:

diesel or Kerosene

never use gas

and a road flair thrown in to light it

Around here the lumberjacks toss in a couple of old tires and iqnite with crappy fuel.

Oh, and on a related note, did I read in one of your posts a while ago that your are a firefighter?

Looked like the pile was full of dry grass and/or dry pine or spruce trees. Those torches are real handy for burning grass in the wild prairies around here. Lots of acres will be going up in smoke within the next couple weeks.

that just seems like asking to toss embers like crazy ... i usually just start with old lumber and pile on to keep a manageable size ... no gas no diesel needed
