I'm curious if any of you have give up camp fires. At least the ones that burn wood. There are several portable fire rings that use propane, but I'm wondering if anyone is using other alternatives.

I've recently discovered in my fireplace that removing the grate allowed us to burn fires with fewer logs. We essentially make a grate from smaller pieces of wood that of course get consumed by the fire. We try to feed it only enough logs to keep it burning. It doesn't burn as "hard," if that makes sense.

We essentially make a grate from smaller pieces of wood that of course get consumed by the fire. We try to feed it only enough logs to keep it burning. It doesn't burn as "hard," if that makes sense. We use a stainless steel washer tub with a circular fire ring fed by a 5 gallon propane bottle. It now has a foot rest rail all the way around for those with cold feet. (Many western state parks won't allow burning wood products in summer for fire prevention regions, and some for air quality.) |
