Burning off warm season grasses, especially meadow grasses, is a common practice where it's still legal. I wouldn't do it to either Blue Oat or Evergold, though. It shouldn't harm an established Miscanthus, but don't try it when it's still young.

Thanks donn.

I burn grass all the time as part of range management. I do it in February. It sweetens the soil. I would like to burn some KR bluestem that is invading my native grass in the front of my property to eradicate it. They tell me that a hot burn in July will do, but that is a scary proposition. This year it is out of the question. My neighbors would eradicate me for even thinking about it. Our very windy drought is a scary thing indeed.We have had grass fires all around us. The closest was 1/4 mile UPWIND.
