Chris started one of his campfires and the temperature on the west coast jumped up by 10 degrees.

[@maryschillinger2909]

Don't you mean the east coast? He's in North Carolina.

Those drone shots of the burn process of loading-up the piles brought the video to another level! 👍

[@alanschwier4045]

Well Chris… this is the second time we had to move our couch away from the TV since that fire was so freaking hot!!! Once again… great project that we really are enjoying… take care my friend…’

[@chosen1one930]

Bring on the 5 acre pond. I've been enjoy this job just as much as the last one you did for him.

[@JerichoRally]

- 10.5 hr day. - 89 gallon fuel tank on the 220 - Gauge is at 1/4 full at the end of the day which equals approx 66 gallons of fuel used. - 66 x $6.00/gal = $396.00/day for fuel alone...for one machine! - And don't forget about DEF fluid.

[@petebrooks6539]

What a fire! Maybe you could call that a North Carolina Sunrise!!!

[@3rddegreeburns494]

That is the best brush fire I've seen in a while. Perfectly piled up and a hot fire with minimum smoke. Great job Chris!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

It’s a damn good thing dirt doesn’t burn!! 😳😜

[@glennspreeman1634]

Happen to be re-watching this in Feb, 2024 and am amazed at how your equipment line hqs grown. Added D6, D7, 450 truck, fuel trailer, another 220 and 330! Holy crap!!

[@bobferranti5222]

Nothing beat a Friday bonfire with Chris. Amazing footage with the drone too!

[@cathiwim]

Im just thankful 10 houses aren’t going up in that clearing like they do around here

[@roygrillo2984]

That instrumental "Daisy Dukes" is a great opening for your channel. Great lead in and outro theme.

Happy Fireday everyone!🔥

[@TheBlueberry606]

Make sure to spread out those ashes all over areas that will have grass, major source of potash.

[@craigwavra3495]

With a flame that hot guess you didn’t need to worry about smoking rolling to the house. That’s an impressive fire!!! Enjoyed!!

Another nice episode of your work. Have a nice weekend!

Definitely a blessing to get some rain 🌧 🙏

Super fun to watch👍👍👍👏🏻👍

[@gliderp]

I'm here because of the thumbnail. I love big brush pile fires.

[@jeffterhune8573]

Enjoyed watching this as I set here at work, you need to clip an outside thermometer to the grab handel of the 220, so we can see the temperature, just a thought. Stay safe.

[@bobsmiley6255]

Dude what a great suggestion about placing a thermometer on the outside of the 220!

[@ben7274]

My favorite thing about your channel is watching you restore neglected ponds. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't love burn days!!!

When you burn stuff Chris, your laugh gets this scarry tone to it ..lol.. great vid..

My wife and I so enjoy your videos.. We are so looking forward to your pond build on the new land.. we are so happy that you are doing something for yourself.. God bless.. Nice fire by the way..

[@Bass2010]

Enjoyed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😌

[@Icerthebluelion]

Who knew something so small could make such a big fire, well that's good to know for me and for you as well. Glad you were able to burn those two piles and hopefully you'll get to burn the rest when you have some more rain. Also from the very first video to now its amazing how much has been cleared as it looks so much better. Once you've stumped the last area and then used the use the dozer to get all of the roots up it'll have that rough but clean look to the cleared out land. Always impressed by the work you do Chris. BLC.

As the Volvo engineers are sitting there going "Hey I have this idea for a new fire shield option for the EC series!" 👍🔥

[@markpashia7067]

As I was picturing the AMI engineers wondering "how much heat is he putting in that bucket and thumb steel?" Did we engineer for that? And how do we heat shield that quick couple? Is that wiring rated for two thousand degrees?

[@erikcourtney1834]

@@markpashia7067 just to clarify there isn’t any wiring anywhere near the bucket. The the hoses aren’t going to see enough heat to hurt them. The steel isn’t even seeing 1000 degrees. The hottest thing would be the teeth which are a replaceable wear part. The bucket would have to sit in the fire for a while to do any damage.

[@markpashia7067]

@@erikcourtney1834 Think again. There is wiring to the quick couple setup to trigger solenoids. Probably not even high heat wiring. Fire is not likely an engineering consideration. And sometimes I wonder about Chris's 220 electronics ghosts when I see him do this. Likely not related but electronics are funny things about voltages and wiring resistance can cause voltage drops. I for one would like to see that quick couple wiring be replaced with high heat wire and have some heat protections and see if the bugs went away. Just a thought. Or maybe that quick couple is hydraulic and I am wrong. Or maybe the answer is make it hydraulic instead of electric controlled.

Man that gives me an adrenaline rush! In my mind thinking "don't overheat the machine, don't overheat the machine.... come on Chris... Oh god he's going near it again..." hahaha

[@JackTruitt]

smoke burns at 460 so once it gets hot enough thats why its smokeless and clean burning. good work chris!

[@oleran4569]

The 2nd drone flight background music is the best you've selected. I always think of it as your theme music (remembered from the times you've used it before). It's direct, uncluttered, to the point and just keeps going and going.....like your work.

Very cool drone footage. Thank you and have good day.

To the Fire-starter Candle maker: Pistachio shells are awesome fire-starter fuel, any nut shell really, but pistachios are particularly good because of their thin profile and size. I fill paper towel tubes (folded at the ends) and drip a tiny ammount of wax on the outside of the tube. Well done, by the way, keep up the great service!

[@Icerthebluelion]

I'm that the candle maker/fire starters and thanks i'll keep that tip in mind. I would have never known about the nut shells but i knew about the paper towels method thou. But "m using what i have on hand you know so yea. We have the wood pellet stove to heat the home and it doesn't take much for those 4oz paper cups or the egg cartons. Ryan. Blue Lion Candles.

Reminds me of a scrub burn we had here in Aussie a D 10 dozer with stick rake pushing and a 20 stacking we were clearing before the fire season , you did a fantastic job Chris very neat and organised way to go man

[@prestonvaughn2078]

Hey Chris, great content as always! Can you help those of us who can't "see" or visualize your vision for this pond. Could you take one of your drone flights and get a eagle's eye view of the clearing, then superimpose a "shoreline" in your vision so the rest of us could share in your and Bealy Good's idea. Knowing things change due to things on the ground, at least a vision we can share with you. THANKS!!!!!

[@prestonvaughn2078]

Noticed that when the fire was raging and you were still piling more on you kept looking over at the tree line to your left. Wondering how crispy the trees on the edge closest to the fire were getting? Worst case, you take out another row of trees or create a small scallop in the edge. Get a bench set in there and you could call it a place to go and reflect on life😉.

Alot of pointers. How to take better care of the machines come to mind

[@3rddegreeburns494]

So true. I only watch 2 people. Andrew Camarata and Letsdig18. Chris does larger jobs but both know their business. I knew Chris was on another level when he posted the video of the stuck excavator (actually buried!) and they called him to get it out. Awesome video if you haven't seen it.

I love burning brush! I build my piles in the spring/summer then burn after the first snow, when burning regulations are done. Nice to work in the cold with a hot fire nearby. I live in Maine.

[@chazco]

We used to make fire starters for camping. Cardboard egg carton, stuff it with... dryer lint then candle wax. They would burn for quite a long time so you could have a camp fire. The two fires were fun to watch burn.

[@smjhobbies4527]

So the genius let tuck Fire Starter logs that you buy at the hardware store and dice them up into little pieces and then mixed it with wax and put them in egg cartons it's pretty smart though I don't know why go through all that when you can just get one of them Fire Starter logs and throw it in there anyway but it was very nice of him so if you're reading this whoever sent that to Chris that's very nice of you
