BBQ

A few days ago we were doing a little cleanup around the farm yard. Here in the country, that means FIRE. For a couple of little pyros like ourselves, this was really a job we couldn't turn down.

The burning actually took place out in one of the pastures where a pile of brush had accumulated. The day was about right, relatively quiet, recent rain but a predictable breeze. The title of the post comes from the fact that this was also the preferred way to eliminate a number of animal carcasses. Believe it or not, but sometimes an animal or two dies. Anyway, a good hot fire makes for a sanitary disposal and also eliminates the feeding of coyotes and other scavengers.

P misjudged the direction of the breeze a bit which meant that he got to play with the fire with the loader tractor and condense the burning embers to be sure we achieved complete combustion. Anyway, a somewhat gross job was made really quite fun and exciting in the presence of 15' flames.
