Hey folks, I have noticed that sometimes a big piece will get caught in the disc and start smoking, and have thought that it might have potential for flaring and having sparks expelled into my chip box. Mostly thinking of chipping very dry, dead material like dead pine. I have also thought of the potential for a rock to go through and cause a spark. Since I am a greenhorn with a chipper, I am just wondering if anybody here has ever experienced this, and what your ideas are for prevention. I have though about mounting a big fire extinguisher to my chipper, but that would only prevent a fire that flashes, and I could only see it smoldering in the chip box if it were to happen, so a lot of water would be needed to quell it. I was thinking of asking my clients to lay out a garden hose and have it ready in case this were ever to happen, but I also do not want to worry them...Kind of like asking them to exit a house when I am doing a removal...it does not seem to instill confidence in my abilities by doing so. Maybe I am thinking too much, maybe not...what say you? Thanks,
