Thanks for all your replies. Unfortunately, I have tried most of the ideas suggested. Started the piles with old motor oil & they burned for a little while. Used a leaf blower to heat them up, they cooled down as soon as the blower was taken away. Tried a propane torch. Like the leaf blower, the fire cooled down as soon as the torch was taken away.

At this point, I think plan C is to cover them again and try burning after a couple months more. If only the centers burn, then I'll need that loader to make new, smaller piles out of what is left. A source of free plastic!: Plastic is expensive; it would cost about $400 for enough 6 mil plastic to cover my 42 piles. I have found a mobile home set up guy who will set aside the plastic he takes off the MH's & let me have it for free. Wish I had thought of this last summer.
