what burns very hot?

Question

We burn our trash and I need something that will burn everything down to ash, I don't mean cans and glass, cause those can recycle, but like plastics that don't melt all the way down, and some of the stuff on the bottom that doesn't get burned and damp items. I have tried using gas and disel but it doesn't burn long enough, to burn everything down. Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

i add wood to mine every now and then, seems to help,bout like a camp fire ,they get really hot,,some old 2x4s are the best.

Answer 2

You need to get more oxygen to the fire to vaporize the fuel. With enough air, you can burn 98% of hydrocarbons with little ask residue.

Try building a blower from an old hair dryer with a burn-proof tube in the fire and long enough so that the hair dryer doesn't melt. Use the high fan setting without the heating element.

1st of all it is against the law to burn plastics besides they recycle also 2nd try burning in a barrel with finger size holes around the bottom sides this used with dry materials will burn up anything you want to add to it after the fire is hot dont over feed it all at once start little then feed as needed

Answer 5

Burning plastics lets off dangerous toxins into the environment and possibly your lungs. Do yourself and the environment a favour and put them in the trash or recycle what you can. Please and the earth thanks you!!!
