THE GOALS TO GOOD SITE PREPARATION ARE:
To locate the machine and fire pit for easy access.
To sort the waste wood pile.
To organize the inflow of new wood waste.
When locating the machine and fire pit:
Consider access for your truck and trailer to deliver the machine. Ensure there is
enough room to maneuver your vehicle. The ball hitch adapter may be removed to
use the pintle hitch in the field for towing by tractor.
Consider where the waste piles will be located. We generally recommend two waste
piles (explained in next section).
Consider the predominate wind direction. Hot embers
will be
escaping from the fire pit
during all burning operations.
Consider where and how (or if) you will empty the ash from the pit. If you plan to exca-
vate the ash out of the pit to empty it, ensure there is room and the soil conditions are
not too soft. If you are going to excavate the ash out, then consider where you will
dump it. In most cases cold ash can be reapplied to the land. Check your local ordi-
nances.
DANGER:
This machine DOES NOT prevent hot embers from escaping.
This machine is designed primarily as a pollution control device to reduce
the smoke generated from burning clean wood waste.
