Thanks for all your replies. Unfortunately, I have tried most of the ideas suggested. Started the piles with old motor oil & they burned for a little while. Used a leaf blower to heat them up, they cooled down as soon as the blower was taken away. Tried a propane torch. Like the leaf blower, the fire cooled down as soon as the torch was taken away. The problem seems to be that there are so many needles they fill up all the air spaces & they seem to hold water like a sponge. When the fire goes out, you see a solid wall of needles and sticks. At this point, I think plan C is to cover them again and try burning after a couple months more. If only the centers burn, then I'll need that loader to make new, smaller piles out of what is left. A source of free plastic!: Plastic is expensive; it would cost about $400 for enough 6 mil plastic to cover my 42 piles. I have found a mobile home set up guy who will set aside the plastic he takes off the MH's & let me have it for free. Wish I had thought of this last summer.
