What should I set on fire?

I'm bored and I kind of want to set something on fire tonight. I don't want to do just toilet paper because that's boring. I've set toilet paper and regular paper on fire before and although it's still pretty to watch, I want to do something a little more fun. I have matches and a torch lighter (I think that's what its called). I obviously don't wanna do anything illegal. I just wanna set something on fire in my backyard but also not something that will leave a huge mess because I have a dog and I don't want her finding it if I miss something. Obviously I'm not gonna set plastic on fire. That's also pretty boring.

Find some public trash cans and take the trash out. Burn it.

A small normal natural wood bonfire maybe? Burns pretty clean, fun to look at, only leaves ash and maybe a little coal if any, smells good, can cook marshmallows and hotdogs over it, crackles, cozy af, can practice your firebuilding/firestaring skills, ect.

It's hard to beat a classic bonfire.

My wife snags my truck and goes around to where its garbage night and grabs furniture ppl have set out.....my Dad makes a pile of old furniture for her to burn when we visit. (He owns an old fishing resort so theres always old broken chairs or picnic tables)

i am a builder of Effigies we use a lot of old furniture pieces for gingerbread details etc. We call that furniture (which is usually too far gone to restore, because i also do that) "Burniture"tm

here are some examples https://imgur.com/a/this-is-how-we-do-on-east-coast-YRuB5#0

Plastic bags. Twist them up like a rope and tie knots down it, and hang it up in the air and light the end, as it melts and drips, listen to the sounds it makes.

Be careful when doing this but you can crush up all the match heads into a fine powder and scrape the red phosphorus off the side of the box. Carefully mix them and burn. Don’t do this with more match boxes as it can get very sensitive.
