I find a use for our "incinerator". Posh word for something that is
actually an old and quite rusty 44 gallon drum with the top and bottom cut
out. It has a very rough 8 inch square hacked out on one side and shoved
inwards so I can shove some kindling and a fire lighter inside to set it
going and it has a series of slots hacked into it with a tomahawk all the
way round the base. I use it to burn blackberry brash, fruit tree prunings,
weeds I can't be bothered to lug to the trailer or can't fit into it and a
variety of other things. It lives in the orchard which is about a quarter
of an acre and serves as the chook's day yard. At this time of the year
when it's perishing outside, there is nothing like a burn off of stuff.

If the fruit tree branches are organic, they make great smoking
material for slow BBQing. Or good rabbit chews depending upon the
tree. Apple is best.
