DW hates the smoke and smell of a wood fire. She loves smores. I love the fire but not the smores. Bought a Fire Dancer propane fire with ceramic logs some years back. We were allowed to use it in CA during an open fire ban when Yosemite was threatened (we were outside the park camping). Open fire ban in CO next year not allowed. We have used it multiple times in campgrounds without fire pits and wood fires not allowed. It's a nice trade off. I bought an 11 lb propane tank to use with it. That doubles as the fuel source for my "crab boil" burner when at home.
Now I'm hungry.............. Greg
