/book/, I am hosting a small book burning and I have some questions. I've done this once before but the books took more than 12 hours to completely burn because of how dense the are and not a lot of oxygen gets in to burn the books in the center. The audience tends to get bored of the burning after a few hours but the crew has to stick around until all the books are burned out.
Our book burnings are getting very popular recently and this time we have more than 4 times as many books to burn and I don't want to spend two days burning them. So what's the best method to burn masses of books quickly? I have 14 standard sized moving boxes full of books to burn mostly paperbacks but some hardcovers too. Last time we just had people throw books onto the pile and added gas. Would it be more efficient to stack them in some sort of structure?
