Fire pits!

You're getting into the spirit of this Dave!- literally! 

Any one tried the Swedish fire torch?  Works very well.

I've seen it but never tried it. Not sure I would want to take a big log with me and I doubt I would find one on site! Needs to be well seasoned timber- looks good though. 

We also use an old bbq as a fire pit and use the grill part to put a pizza stone on and cook pizza, absolute bliss sitting outside in the late evening enjoying pizza and the 'odd' glass of wine. we find it best on the cl's where it's quieter and we can watch the night time wildlife.

We were once on a site in Germany bordering the River Neckar and they had several fire pits along the river in the tent area. The pits were made out of old lorry wheel rims. Not suggesting anyone tries carting one around with them but they seemed to do the job.

 I do hope that people that enjoy such things also take into account any near neighbours who might not share the same enthusiasm. A couple of times on sites abroad we have almost ended up like smoked kippers because of the proximity of people burning wood.

Yes, it's a very good point David. You'll see me throwing dead grass into the air before I light a fire- if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction, we go without until better conditions prevail.
