How to Use a Garden Incinerator 

Helpful. Thank You

thank you very much for your comment

No need to be sarcastic Laura

thank you for taking the time to comment

thank you!

While I agree with the boots and leather gloves, the long sleeves are fine as long as they are non flammable. Nylon (such as an anorak) can melt to your skin causing terrible burns, while any mixed fiber can catch alight and burn at 700 degrees, with the synthetic content causing it to stick to your skin as you put it out. A denim shirt or jacket is one of the safest, but for any large amount of burning, I wear an old leather biker jacket. The same is true for pants, on old pair of Levis is ideal if you are spending the morning burning. Embers mostly burn out on denim and you feel the heat long before it catches alight. Even if the frays catch, they are easy to put out. Back in the days when we burnt the stubble, on a hot day, some of the guys were topless, wearing just boots and denim shorts. Although it may sound crazy, while spark and ember burns sting, clothing catching alight almost always results in serious (sometimes life threatening) burns. They wore shorts, simply because jeans can heat up to 300 degrees before you realize it and then tear skin off as they rub against your legs. With shorts, you feel the heat and move back to a safe distance from the fire. The guys who put grass fires out with beaters in Australia use the same principal. People seeing it on videos just think that Australian guys must be crazy. 😊

@@wilsjane Thank you so much for taking the time to contribute such valuable information on this topic.

Is it legal and ok to do where you live?

@@jimgritty7064 yes, it's fine 🙂

Carrie Red Yep, I moved to the ‘burbs & can’t burn anything either! Frustrating trying to bag every piece of trash & leaf. A few miles away a guy tried burning off his dead Bermuda before new growth...nobody was hurt but he took out his house AND his neighbors. Probably about $800,000 total damage (OMG!!). Gotta be careful & kniwcwhat your doing, huh? PEACE to you!!

😢x

I like your suggestion of keeping them out of the rain is a good one - thank you

Paint them with heat resistance paint

@@josephjoestar5444 🤣🤣🤣🤣

​@@AllotmentBook my one is disintegrating... is it still safe to use.?

You're very welcome!

Thank you very much for your comments.

He said no accelerants

But I did find the video helpful, thanks!

Thank you!

I have a long-handle heavy pry-bar that I believe I would use to lift it off from a little distance, it has bent ends, so could hook on the lid handle. Wish I could find heavy-duty metal incinerators that would warp. If I knew a welder, I'd hire one to construct one extra wide for me out of heavy duty steel barrels as I have seen elsewhere on DIY You Tube Channels...and construct a flat lid with a chimney and handle for placement/removal.

I agree Brick are not broken Legs last two minutes

The legs soften and weaken… you have to keep them cool for them to solid

How? I was going to bag it into rubble bags and bin it.

@@Rahat28251 It would be easier to google "use wood ash in garden" than for me to type it all out. There are a lot of articles and data on it.

Thank you - glad it was helpful!

Joannie Tooth Yes it absolutely can, just sprinkle it over soil, around trees, on a compost heap etc.

yes it's essentially low grade fertilizer

Thank you very much for your comment.

All the holes help with ventilation. The holes at the bottom could get blocked by ash. When the incinerator is completely cold, I remove the ash at the bottom before using it again.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Thank you for your comment!

Thank you for your comment. I was not aware of that condition. It is a good question to put to the manufacturer, or store when purchasing. When I use mine, I always stand well back from it as the heat is so strong and to avoid the smoke, and always outside too. I hope this helps reduce the risk, but your question is something for the experts to answer.

@@AllotmentBook It was rude of me not to add that I enjoyed your very helpful presentation, I guess the galvanising can't be an issue because they all seem to be galvanised. Cheers!

Thank you!

Thank you for the question. I try to avoid breathing in any smoke by standing downwind, but a respirator may help too.

No

🤣🤣🤣 that's such a stupid idea that i hope you're joking

If you like camping all year round then go for it!!!!!

It will certainly heat up your home!

Of course you can, but yes, very important to leave the patio door open, and also, make sure your curtains are tied well back to stop them flying in the way of the flames.

For the oxygen that the fire needs

Air flow

A real Genius!
