A neighbour has recently had a lot of shrubs and laurel cut down. The
intention is to burn it.

Not wishing to buy a dustbin incinerator for what would be a kind of one off
job, does anyone have any ideas on how to make a simple kind
incinerator/grill (the basic idea i suppose is to get the air in underneath)
thing to make the bonfire burn better.

He has some spare concrete paving bricks as a starter. Any suggestions?


Depends how many other neighbours you have. Personally if I lived nearby
I would be very grateful if you took it to the local tip and put it in
the "green waste " skip from whence it could be recycled as compost.

Of course if you insist on burning then first you will need a risk
assessment, then you will need to check your household insurance for
public liability and also in case you burn your own house down. You
should also check with your local council for any by-laws or planning
restrictions and check your deeds to make sure you are entitled to have
bonfires on your land.
