When I was building my fence, I had small section to replace. I decided to stack all the old wood like a teepee and have a bonfire. These are 16ft foot boards.
When I lit this thing, it quickly became a life of its own. It started pulling in air from all sides. You cant tell from this pic, but there is some heavy woods behind me. Embers were easily landing in it. It was one of the few times in my life that I thought I was completely fuched because it was completely out of my control. Luckily, I was able to keep it confined. Nothing ever grew on the spot again, I had to eventually replace the top soil.
