[AT] Off Topic -- burning wood

[Mike M]

I agree Dean, perfectly safe in a air tight wood stove, only issue I can 
think of is when you go to reload, it could throw some poppers.

I have acres of the damn stuff and have had some spectacular outdoor bonfires disposing of a tiny fraction of it.   Piling up a giant mound of branches sometimes results, during the bonfire, in bigger logs catching fire but then being buried under accumulating ash and laying there cooking for hours.   When they eventually get hit with an air supply again they go off like the fourth of July.

No issues so far (they're enclosed stoves with solid/glass doors, not open fireplaces or screens), but probably worth being a lot more careful about.
