Blazin’ Grazin’ and Other Wild Things is more than a podcast. It’s a record of knowledge, a tool for transformation, and a beacon for those who believe that good land management is as much about community as it is about combustion.
It honors the science while embracing the stories. It respects the past while equipping the future. And in every smoky anecdote, every carefully explained concept, it carries one message: that stewardship isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a lifelong journey shaped by fire, forage, and a little bit of wildness.
If you haven’t listened yet, now’s the time. Because the land won’t wait. And neither will the next burn window.

In this special episode, the crew sits down with one of the foundational voices in prescribed fire and rangeland management: Dr. Dave Engle. From lighting tumbleweeds as a kid in New Mexico to shaping modern fire ecology in Oklahoma and beyond, Dr. Engle shares a lifetime of fiery insights (and a few smoky memories). The conversation is equal parts education, storytelling, and tribute to decades of leadership in fire science, grazing systems, and eastern redcedar battles.
You’ll hear the origin stories behind patch-burn grazing, early challenges with burning Cross Timbers, and what it was like developing one of the most respected fire programs in the country from scratch, starting with two drip torches and a couple of backpack pumps. Plus, he breaks down the rise of the eastern redcedar invasion and how researchers, agencies, and landowners are finally catching up to what he’s been warning about for decades.
