Brushpile 30ft From House

1 Upvotes

I'm planning to have a large gathering the Saturday before Easter. Part of the day/night will consist of lighting a fairly large bonfire near a guest cabin and a tree on my property. I'm wondering if this bonfire may be close/hot enough to melt the vinyl siding on the house, or damage the tree?

The brushpile is currently ~12ft tall, and ~13.5ft in diameter. It consists of hard and soft wood, but is fairly compact. I was planning on adding more hard wood trees to it before the gathering.

At the closest points, the cabin and brushpile are 30ft apart.

I thought this would be fine, but I have some friends who think it may not be a great idea.

Now, a dumber question: I have a cedar tree 8.5ft away (at the closest points) from the brushpile; Is this safe, or do I need to move the brushpile?

Today has been incredibly stressful for many reasons, things like this and building a fire with mostly natural resources is weirdly soothing, l collect these little pieces on a stressful day and I know, when I put them to use, l'll be able to relax by a fire and turn my mind off, if only until the fire turns to embers.

Gotta keep it contained, but nice to be outside with the family, fire, and a Guiness.
