Re: CULT: burning

Took me a minute to sort this question out - I knew I didn't use the
propane torch, but when I read what you quoted, it says I did... most
confusing...

I bought the torch, and have an extra tank, but it just seemed like a
lot of work to drag it around when the older clumps had plenty of dead
foliage to carry a fire without adding fuel.

The wired on paraffin soaked starter stick was just an easy, lightweight
substitute.

If/when I burn green or wet foliage, or trying to kill weeds, I will
definitely use the propane torch.

I guess the basic answer is I like to play (experiment), & the tank &
torch seemed too much like work.
