[QUOTE="James, post: 1840, member: 212"] Sure, if you have 40 or 50 hivrs to burn , them it's probably better to get a digger in and scoop out a big hole, but for one or two, or four or five , i sure as heck am not gonna spend the afternoon with a crowbar digging a hole in hard clay and rotten rock. It's the burning drum every time. Start off standing up, and then as the burn proceeds, tip it over onto a stand, which then lets the air in and gets a rip roaring fire going, and as that subsides into a mass of gunk and charcoal, rotate,burn, rotate, and by burn end all that is left is nails and wire. No residue. No unburnt honey in the soil for potential robbing, because trust me, bees will find it .... and I'd suggest that every one is not as conciertious as digging holes as Alistair. Trust me again on that on. I seen bonfire sites in the Back of Beyond that were one helluva good party. [/QUOTE]
