According to Grand Designs hay bales aren't necessarily flammable.Apparently if they're tight enough there's not enough air to allow them to burn and they're bad at conducting heat, or something.

what puzzles meWhere the tractor was stood there was of course a bit of litter on the floor, i.e. loose hay, this had obviously burnt a bit but it had not carried on and ignited the actual bales. The tractor was snug against the stack and considering the heat generated by the burning tyres etc (e.g. the cab windows had totally shattered and the seat was toast )It still remains a miracle that the whole lot did not go up. There was not even any scorch marks on the bales next to where the tractor was parked.

It does sound weird, and I know what I said doesn't fuly explain it.But I thought I ought to pass on the counter intuitive thing which may be the only thing I have learned through watching Grand Designs.
