Tractor burning weeds - GIF

turn that beast loose in the county where I live with our rain fall for the past 4 months being only 1"with our 30 MPH winds and 6 % humidity and there wold be flying embers 3 counties away starting fire. I couldn't even burn my fence rows this past winter because no rainy days or snow

When I can get them I like using ghost peppers and Carolina Reapers in my hot sauce. much more stable flavor than Habanero and Anaheim. stuff jalapenos with my hot sauce, green onion and sharp Colby for a real treat when people bite into them
-
It looks like a great unit, but how do you light it?

Frank, try soaking reaper flesh in everclear for a week, then strain out the solids and cut it to 40%. Leave it age for three months and you’ve got something really nice.

might have tried that 40 years ago when I kept alcohol around for more than just taking the sniffles out of a common cold. I had an unopened half pint of 12 year old scotch fro 5 years in case I ever catch a cold or get the sniffles

"Real treat" is subjective.
Who actually receives the treat; those eating or the prankster serving?
I'm guessing you tell them, but that doesn't convey a funny image.

A lot of folks around her love those jalapeno poppers 2 or 3 others will serve them at our little community sales but most to me are so mild you might as well beating mash potatoes, I like mine spiced up a little.So sometimes when I can the the warmer chili peppers like the ghost and Carolina reapers I'll make up a batch of them I'll usually eat 2 or 3 of mine then say here try one of these but don't blame me if Satan himself asks you to blow on the brimstone.
I don't care to eat many things raw but when it comes to chilies once they are cooked they all seam to lose that all important warmth except in beans or venison chili for some reason
I have 10 different varieties of hot chilies planted ranging from 50,000 au to 2m au I hope they come up and produce.

One of these days someone will breed a pepper that will spontaneously combust when ripe. Then the SHU will have to be changed to the ETU (ExaThermic Units)...and no need to light the weed burner any more.
Personally I dislike my face being melted and habanero's are at my limit with a quart of milk standing by. Had a Thai friend once make me his version of Soba which took a day before I could taste again and him to stop laughing...still can't eat those little red/green bastiches to this day.
Guess we'll have to wait and see if the Pepper X is the next face smelter.

Not me but could be my wimpy cousin you might note that bottle is a bottle of Tabasco. that stuff is only good as a sweetener for coffee
-
How about a bandoleer; filled with the tiny sauce bottles packaged with MRE's?
-
Busted me up...both of you guys. Yep, Wimpy and has a Metallica tang to me reminiscent of a few cups Navy Coffee I've had. And Boy howdy, MRE need some sauce and even more with C-rations. :p

I rather liked the C rations because they were in steel cans I could toss a few on the manifold of my M123A1 10 ton tractor while in convoy then when we stopped for a break I would sell the hot meals. Every time I would get a pack of kools I'd trade them to the inner city guys for 2 packs of winstons then trade the winstons for Pell Mell or camels at the same rate.
One night I snared a rabbit then the next morning before starting out I rigged several coat hangers under the hood and hung the thin strips of meat on them. Along late in the afternoon the Col. drove past my truck then slowed down and sniffed the air just shook his head and drove on by. once we got set up at the bivouack site the Col. called me to his tent and asked for some Jerky. He said I may have the biggest ugliest truck in the convoy but it was the best smelling. we had a good laugh. Then he asked if I had rigged a still in the M88 tank retriever I told him that I hadn't been able to talk the mess sgt out of a couple of pots yet.
He said let me handle that by the time we had made it to the halfway point of the 500 mile round trip we had 4 gallons of 4 day gin.Had to leave the engine running on the 88 the whole time since the temperatures stayed below -10° the whole time that far north in Alaska for winter survival training.

More likely this is used to scorch insect larvae then weeds

I suspect the same. Perhaps shoots of smaller less appreciated plants; the established sprouts look none-the-less for wear. Right off; burner spacing not centered on the plant rows.

Burning weeds or pests, is a complex operation, with many consequences. Some good some bad.
https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/flame-weeding
on the other hand..
Burning controls weeds and pests, and improves yields in the season after burning. On the other hand, the agricultural researcher says that, over the long-term, burning destroys the soil. It causes increased soil erosion; it kills beneficial soil organisms, and eventually causes lower yields. This is a complicated subject.

Now I know where roasted garlic comes from!
