I will have to hear your bamboo story one day...
Hee, hee. Not much to it actually. We used to live in a house in Denison, Texas that had a bamboo fence at the back of the property. Hubby took a stem?/piece and lit it just to see what it does. Gave me a pretty good idea what it would be like it a lot of it caught fire. You'd never get it put out!
