This was a fairly modest burn pile, only 6-8' in diameter and about 3' high. We got through all the accumulated dead wood and brush in only three hours, compared to our last burn which was an all-day affair.
Since we don't have water piped out to the flood plain, we damped down the fire with cactus pads ...
and having finished so quickly, we've already started piling up more brush for the the next time.
