This was way back in 1995, when R' Aron Teitelbaum,the Satmar Rebbe of Monroe, was upset that his entire community got up and left to fly to the Zionist country on Lag Beomer, and he was left with hardly a minyan. He first banned and threatened to throw out any bochur who flew to the Zionists for Lag Beomer, but they left anyway.
In the video below given in Yiddish he mocks and ridicules those who find the Lag Beomer rituals sacred! He asks "is there halachos on high or how many stories the pyre has to be? How many pieces of wood is required? How long does it have to burn?"
It didn't take too long before he took a 360 degree turn and made up his own festivities, halachos and minhagim!

I'm sure there's a sefer out there...
does anyone really give a poop about what this knuckle dragging ape thinks?
it amazes me that anybody listens to his bullshit.
Outside of his cult presumably not all that many however bear in mind that his chasidus numbers in the tens of thousands
