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.

Need sun, high pressure and wind for a few days to a week to really dry it out.

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.

I burned sunday at the house. It was damp at the bottom. The pine straw was very dry after I think 3 days of dry weather.

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.

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.

All depends on what kind of fuel you have, whether the stand is shaded, wind and humidity. I'm planing to burn again Saturday and Sunday this weekend. Tomorrow will be good drying day with the sun and wind and Saturday the humidity is supposed to be in the low 30's. I burned Friday a couple weeks ago the day after rain. It was a 7 year old longleaf with a lot of native grass that dries out quickly.

Here's a few of my recent burning pictures. These are from Pike and Shelby Counties over the past three weekends. In some of the longleaf pine you can see the grass and open canopy. These stands dry out quickly and can be burned on days when most everything else is too wet. Also helps that those stands were on sandy ground that drains quickly.

I burned Saturday after 2 full days of no precipitation. It was on an upland pine site, with two years of needle litter and some native grasses. Two days with sun, a 10 mph wind and humidity in the 20-30 range will dry out fine fuels pretty quickly.

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.

Just did a quick search because this thread had me thinking and nothing popped right up for me. Does anybody have a link to a MFRI map for Alabama? I know ya'll are burning for other reasons and I was just curious about it from a different perspective.
