But why burn something - trees that can be used for useful purposes, ie. house building and paper products? For a sensible approach it would be - do select logging and then let small controlled fires happen in the area that has been logged. That way you get into situations where you don't have these tinderbox situations and are extracting 100% renewable resources.
