SPREAD that pile, it'll have embers for months otherwise. A big wind will find them & cause a lot more grief. I used a 2'x2'x6' concrete block & 60' of chain, Wrap chain around block & BOLT it together, then pull it through the mess scattering it. Otherwise you'll never get it out for a long time. I left 1 pile of ashes ONCE, 2 months later a 80mph wind found a ember. This was AFTER it had 12" snow sit on it for 3 weeks.

 I was the victum of 5 "salespeople for late term abortions" a few yrs ago. 1 of them had set fires in 2 of my stacks befor I think, because he told the detectives  that "he liked to see hay burn" . He got 15 yrs.  I had my farm/ranch insurance canceled & couldn't buy farm/ranch insurance for 2 yrs because of those 5. & I had never meet them & they didn't know who I was.
