- This Swedish fire torch works pretty well if you want a small fire that lasts a long time.

LOL.......charcoal briquets leftover from dinner are thrown in the fire pit followed by crumpled newspaper and various sized wood atop. Easy peasy.

.- umm last fire I helped light, 40 gallons of gas, and a flare gun 500 feet away. fire was so large all towns within 100 miles called our FD to ask if we needed help with the blaze. man what a fun night. buddy was the FD chief and we were burning off a lake clean up pile of trash and logs.
ok, for a little campfire either duraflame log or if the wood is really dry a little bbq starter fluid and build it up to a nice fire that burns all night to sit back and chat with friends over. milo wrote:

Put copious amounts of gasoline on the wood then give wife a very short match. Have her light the fire.

Method for burning a yard fire. Pour a few gsllons of used motor oil onto the pile at least a week before intended burn. On burning day add a couple more gallons of old motor oil plus whatever else flammable is in the garage like that mixture of mineral spirits, acetone, laquer thinners anything else that went into that trash plastic gallon container. Follow that with just a little dash of gas (it is $10 gal around here) & a match.
Watch in satisfaction at a fire well primed. Cloud Dancer wrote:
Campfires are old fashioned and dangerous and undesirable (by me). Isn't that the reason for RVs which have a furnace, a stove and micro-convection oven? In any case, you can see how I light MY campfire.....:B
Me too Dancer, I don't like the smell nor the smoke blowing on me from a campfire. See no reason to have one when I am self contained and do not rely on a fire to heat water or cook. Those needing to burn wood to do so are camping, I travel in my hotel/mess hall room.
