Gotta burn my journal, can’t just throw it away. How do I do it safely?

Anonymous 7w

Indoors in a poorly ventilated area, ideally somewhere near lots of old newspaper or a litter of puppies

In a fire pit.

Take it outside, somewhere at least 15 or so feet from anything flammable. Either use a fire pit or something to contain the fire. Split up the book down the spine into several pieces or else the paper in the middle won’t burn. Build a fire (look up how to do that on wiki how or something.) light the fire with a long handle lighter. DO NOT use gasoline, but lighter fluid can help if the tinder is damp.

Why do you have to burn it? Did you write something too salacious?

You can also use something like an old charcoal grill and build a fire in that. Just don’t build a wood fire in a nice new grill. Make sure that the paper is directly in the fire and stays there for a while as tightly packed pages don’t burn well at all. Keep feeding the fire for a while then let it burn down to coals. Afterwards, put it out with water from a bucket or hose.
