Do I need to use weights I order to see good results squatting. I never feel the "burn"

    Results for what? More strength? Endurance?

    If you're going for endurance, no. If you're going for strength or increased muscle size, it's easier to get there with weights. OTOH, you can go a long way with bodyweight squats if you progress to one-legged variations (google for "squat progressions" -- lots of good info out there).
