  • Must not be in the budget. But I've made smaller ones out of #8 tin cans.
  • I heard no audio in the video. I don't understand why some adds do this. Drives me nuts! Or is it just me watching a silent film.

    Would be hard for this old timer to not have a few logs on the fire making crackling noises and putting some smoke and sparks around us while we are drinking some good ole fresh ground bean coffee and listening to country music on the radio...

    Thats how we finish each day when camping...

  • Anything's better than a smoldering 12 inch diameter log in a ground level pit!
