One of my buddies can tell a great story of when he was a kid. His dad wanted to just burn the leaves from the heavily wooded house the live at. His dad had a 55 gallon drum and welded up a grate to hold the leaves off the ground and let air in. He figured once they were burning, just keep tossing in leaves. Of course the leaves were a little wet from dew, so his dad pours on some gas the throws matches in. Nothing. More gas, still nothing. More gas one more tossed in match and my buddy said next thing he knows is he is laying on his back next to his dad, his ears are ringing and there is a volcano of burning leaves erupting from the barrel. His dad jumped up and started yelling to stamp out the falling leaves that are on fire. He can't hear his dad due to the ringing in his ears, but he figured he better help put of the fires before the neighborhood has a forest fire.
They put out all the leaves, and neither of them were hurt. He said his dad came to his room that evening when he could hear and said we will never speak of this day again.
