    Do y’all break it up into smaller sections or all at once?

    I will go out on a limb for D..... He ain't burning it all at once!
    I too burn a lot of acreage and a big burn unit for me would be 50+ acres.

    It may be 5, 10 , 20 acre blocks on up to 50ish. Leaving the office now to burn 2 blocks that total about 30 acres. Burning 5-800 acres is over a 3 month time frame and the objective for each burn will determine if it gets burned early or later in that time frame

    Same for me. I’m burning 15 acres today and that’s about the average size for me.

    How many people you normally do that with? 2 with that size I would guess.

    I burn right by myself most days. I’m pretty mobile and carry 50gals of water and a gas powered pump on the buggy with me. Good wide firebreaks help a lot and taking it slow.
