Don't transport firewood more that 50 miles form its source of origin, please! As a camper of many years and a fond lover of the great outdoors, I've been tempted many times. But my senses told me that if I want to continue to use these facilities play by the rules, for the good of all. Never, never, ever thought I'd be one to go to Home Depot & buy DuraFlame logs, but I do. Maybe the ozone is going to hell, but I'm saving trees!
We bought a Fire Dancer propane fireplace with ceramic log set some years back. I miss the crackle and smell of a wood fire but it is nice to be able to turn the gas off and the fire is out as soon as we are ready to go inside. DW says S'mores taste fine done over it vs wood. Fire Dancer has adjustable gas feed so you can determine flame height from 3" to about 24". If not for the fire dancer I'd buy DuraFlame logs too.
