I used to burn those sets in my mother's backyard, out in the country where there are no regulations on small fires as long as there was no drought. Typically I would dig a hole and sit the tv beside it or in it. I did this with wood or plastic sets, would douse the bottom of the cabinet with gas and light it, then walk away. I would be 40 or 50 feet away when the crt went. Then I would bury the glass and small stuff in the hole. I really wouldn't do that these days, for one I don't have the nerve I used to, plus I would rather try to recycle the set or something. At the time it was lots of fun, anyway. The last one I think I did was a GE table set in a plastic cabinet and it smoked worse than an old tire. The neighbor, who wasn't too crazy about me anyway, had a fit and I had to douse it with water.

(no, that glass didn't burn! just left with a pile of glass that I would bury)
