Building campfires

There is a lot of debris, pine and poplar branches, on our acreage. We have given the pine trees a golf-coursecut, and that's pretty neat I would say. The lower stem is exposed for about 3-4 feet, so the grass can (but will it?) grow beneath the tree. I looks nicer and is more convenient in the maintenance department. We can use the John Deere tractor to mow the grass. A during the winter it looks much nicer with all the snow beneath it. We can mulch all those branches or we can build large campfires. The latter we like the most, it's fun and warm too except for your backside, right. Evenings can be a little cold here in Alberta. When there are scouts around, well campfires grow large. No point in stopping them, branches have to burn, preferably all at once. And actually I like that too, but there is a limit to the size of the tractor rim.
