The best job for a camping fire is a few firelighters, a couple of logs and dry twigs and a load of coal! It burns a lot hotter than wood and lasts a lot longer. There's also not nearly as much smoke. You can use smokeless coal too which is even hotter and theres absolutely no smoke. You only need a little bit so if anyone has a fireplace at home, bring a small bag of coal and we'll all be toasty.

Nooooooooooooooooooo :shock:

Number 1 it is poisonous. Number 2 it is dirty. Number 3 it is dangerous. Number 4 it does not decay after we leave. Number 5 it is just wrong!!!!

Wood or turf!!!! :lol:

Foxrock scouts had a super ser! :lol:

Im telling you many a time I went camping and used coal on the fire. Just a little bit was all that was needed to have a roaring fire with plenty of heat. So OK yeah a bit dangerous but we wont be using an entire bag!

Still myself, Ross, George, and Richie confirmed for this, with Tom at about 70% likely to go.

I was out looking at the BBQ last night - it is beginning to take on a kinda ratlook style for itself being left out in the Galway rain all the time. Anyways I got to thinking (I sound like yer one out of Sex and the City now) that maybe it would be best to stick to more traditional camping foods considering the time of year. If anyone is interested I am happy to make either a big pot of Guinness stew or my speciality traditional Irish curry. The curry is always popular - I use "chip shop" curry sauce with big lumps of meat (pork usually, but chicken is good), onions, apples, and peas, all served on a bed of good old fashioned white non-stick boiled rice. It is not healthy, but god damn it is tasty. A bit of soup then for starters and some tea and biccies for desert and we are sorted foodwise. Jack and Jim will provide the entertainment and my awning will provide the shelter if required. Airhead can make the fire using bits of old flint and some wet sticks just to annoy him :)
