Yeah. It’s crazy how some of that stuff burns. There are many species, particularly palmetto grasses and palm trees that can burn at 200% moisture content. There are many pines that readily burn with a fair moisture content.

Thanks for sharing what tree species are there. I’m always fascinated by that stuff.

We survived the Reiley Road Fire in Montgomery County in 2011. It was also called the Tri-County Fire. We played second fiddle to the Bastrop Fire until ours got worse and that one was nearly over. The USFS fire boss said he had never fought a hotter fire in hotter conditions. We had temps up around 105 and very low humidity in the north of Houston of all places. Burned stumps at least 6 feet deep in the ground. See my short story here: https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4176205/posts?page=32#32

When we cleared our lot I had a huge pile of Yaupon and burned the stuff out in the unfinished culdesac. I was never so glad as to see that explosion burn down and I though it never would. After that I bought a chipper.
