Not particularly. Dry pine needles work fine. Depends upon how much work 
needs to be done. Big worry for me in Calif. is starting a fire, so I clear 
to bare dirt around the boxes and set the smoker on a board or rock. When 
it's over 90 with 20% humidity and a breeze, a fire could start with a 
small spark. . Best of work early in the morning after first light or in 
the evening when some workers are still out, although many are clustered 
all over the entrance side of the boxes.
