keeps bugs down, you just stay back 40 feet ..
I am about to light my bonfire which will shoot up 30 feet high. Nah, I will wait for the fall horse fence line clean up to get it to 40 to 50 feet high. It only last a few minutes.
Now on to your serious question. Hell no at my house. Sure I can light it and step away. Eventually, I have to go out there and rake the hot coals. I never leave it burn overnight and have to hose it off.
Yeah, way to hot with my safety measures.
