A detailed analysis is made of field data taken during a program of experimental broadcast burning of logging slash in northwestern Montana. An unsuccessful attempt was made to relate the amount of F and H layer duff burned out to the quantity of heat released by the slash burning, as estimated by theory. Inadequacies in the data and pitfalls of procedure are indicated in hopes of assisting experiment design in future work of this nature.
