I Haven't tried this yet, but I'm going to Stack myself 3 or 4 '16 inch logs(same size you use in a wood burner) inside my hoop house's in a form of a teepee using some old newspaper or cardboard in the middle of the logs and then drench it with a full bottle of Charcoal lighter fluid (Kingsford brand would be best) , then light it up and smoke them out.

I think I can avoid melting my plastic as long as I keep both ends of my hoop house's open.

Brooks just let the whole thing burn...the plastic is replacable.. Throw tin foil over the whole hoop to increase the effectiveness. If you get the right kind of heat you could probably roast a hog.
