answer:I live in a place where backyard burning is legal, so I’d probably do it there. In fact, I left my last full-time job under pretty frustrating circumstances, and once I recovered from the shock I burned all of my company T-Shirts in the backyard fire-pit in much the way you describe. However, I also have one of these – a small tabletop charcoal grill. With the proper precautions taken, you could easily burn your photographs, documents, or small mementos, and bury the ashes afterwards.
