And damp is why I am not trying to burn this weekend, lol.

I use a lightweight electric leaf blower to provide extra oxygen to the burn pile and build a wood base underneath the pine straw and leaves from the multitude of dead branches that fall off the trees over time...and this year the smaller branches from the 40 foot pine tree at our place in town that succumbed to pine bark beetles.  The wood base and extra oxygen from the blower create a poor man's blast furnace and dispatch the stuff faster and with less smoke.  Am hoping next weekend will be more dry and conducive to getting rid of the stuff.
