[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7248825, member: 63856"] Haven't used a flamethrower for the purpose [USER=55620]@PuG[/USER] but have seen plenty of fenceline burns in the past - generally grassland where grass is mowed up to the fence (just like the cultivated boundary in stubble-burning times) and then set the dry material alight .. you just have to judge the burn to be quick enough to get the grass/weeds without cooking the posts/wire/netting and be prepared to replace the odd plastic insulator etc. and practice elsewhere to get a feel for the flammability of the vegetation. It's similar to the fuel-reduction burns that seem to kept being forgotten about, which then lead to large wildfires, if done well it is very effective indeed. [/QUOTE]
