so the lake came up on my burn piles (2)
what are the odds that it will go back down to winter level so I can burn? Or I suppose we will have two fish piles!
plus I don’t fish, lol.

Lol. When I burn it last for about one to two hours. You’ll not smell my burn for long. I just don’t want the stuff drifting off into your prop!

Starting tomooroww it will drop precipitously as per APCO. It will definitely get back to winter level and start back up mid February per guidelines. I suspect most of your burn piles will be gone with the water.

We will see but the piles are still there. Will burn asap after it drops. In fact I had burned the first pile. Try to get it done with no residue

I feel your pain. We have folks in our slough that burn almost every weekend in the summer.

i have concluded some men think burning "stuff"--(anything) anytime-- is a ritual or passage to manhood

Let me ask you a question. If you need to clear your property of dead trees and other bush, and you need to depose of the wood, coupled with no landfills anywhere close, what would you do. Most contractors clearing property or harvesting trees do what? They burn the stuff.
So I do not apologize for doing what anyone would do. What caught me by surprise is the lake coming up quickly. If it goes back down a couple of feet, I will BURN the piles. Did not know we had treehuggers on this forum! Lol.
Wonder what the folks clearing out the lake bed in the 1930’s did, when Martin dam was being built, they BURNED it.
Have a blessed day.

I think you may have misunderstood. We simply said to be considerate and don’t burn on the weekend in the summer months.

You should not apologize. Burning yard stuff is a hell of a lot better than dumping it on road sides or power lines. If these guys have that sensitive noses, probably should stay inside. Controlled burning is a great forest management program, hundreds of acres regularly. Now, that's smoke.

Take a day or two off during the week. Was that so hard to figure out. At least get done before summer.

So in a Harry's world it is just fine to "harass" us full timers but don't you dare bother us weekenders! Get over yourself.
BURN BABY BURN.

Burning is inevitable. By burning on weekends in the warmer months far far more people are being affected.

When the future lake bed was being cleared, most of the trees were NOT burned; they were bundled together and chained to the ground. Some old-old-timers will tell stories about the excitement of having a quiet boat ride interrupted by the site of a large tree breaking ot of the water like a missle. Those stories might be more myth than truth. But what is not myth is the fact that not al that long ago a company started harvesting those trees that have been under water for more than 90 years now, and made some good money selling the wood. That's something they couldn't have done had the trees been burned.
Lesson #1 in Lake History (for everyone, not just the OP): Just because something happened before you were on the lake doesn't mean that it didn't happen.
