With all the rain, how many days will it typically take for pine straw and leaves to dry enough to get a good burn? Looking at 2 week weather forecast, not many stretches more than a few days without rain. Thanks in advance.

Last year we burned first week in February on my place. It had only been 2 days since the rain quit. As much rain as we’ve had I saw burns last Friday Saturday and Sunday may have even seen a burn Thursday but it may have been Friday when they started.

I been seeing smoke from my hilltop nearly every day for the past month. Somebody is getting it done. A lot of it comes from the NF, because I can see Perry Mountain fire tower from my back door.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Well, if it stops raining tomorrow around noon, I might try it Monday afternoon. I really would like to burn it before season.

Middle of the day seems to be better for burning early and late it won’t burn as good.

Middle of the day seems to be better for burning early and late it won’t burn as good. Humidity levels are at their lowest point during the middle of the day. Be sure to always check the fire weather for that info before lighting one. I believe it was around the low 20's and below where it got pretty iffy to light it up....

I burned in S Montgomery county Sunday. Lit the fire a little after lunch and it burned great. Humidity levels were in the low to mid 30s at that time. Humidity below 30 and fire can get real dicey for someone who doesn't fully understand it which includes myself. Yes it can get ugly quick

Depends, We've been getting hot burns lately on a day or 2 of sun and wind with humidity in the low 30's. We've been more concerned with jumps than getting it done. Mostly 5-10 yr old short leaf pines.
Those long leaf burn pics look great!

I’d love to burn one of my leases but my lease holder would probably chit. It’s probably to far gone now anyway I’d say there is to much fuel there and would burn the pines up.
Lot of people are afraid of burning. Smokey bear has alot to do with it. You have to be careful with it and it will get me worried sometimes too. The Indians used to burn the whole region at the end of summer.
