Camp Fires

Post by Cruz »

I'm after something small and portable for having camp fires in. Something that will last but also keep the fire off the floor. We have been using a little bucket bbq recently. Whilst it's handy for bbq's it's a bit too small for having a decent fire in afterwards. Plus the paint set alight the last time we used it for a fire :lol:

What do you use?

I use one of these, dirt cheap (about £10) so I just chuck it away each year when its rusty and get a new one.
Not massive but big enough and a good BBQ

Usually have them in Focus type DIY places or some supermarkets.Tesco did sell them but have now sold out
I think you'll struggle now as they tend get them in early in the year.

I bought one from ebay this year but it was cracked so i got a refund. it was the last one they had too.

I'll keep my eyes peeled in the spring.

Anyone else any other suggestions?

i use one of those, its good for BBQing (although a tad small) and you can stick a 'crackle log' on there after for that cosy campfire feel :lol:

A friend of mine uses a chimenea to provide heat and flame and smoke - that's what a camp fire is all about - right? These are sold as patio heaters online and in garden centres and come in a big range of sizes and prices.
For example Argos - type 'chimenea' into the search thingy. Around £50.
Might still need to be sat on a piece of ply or something to stop embers and radiated heat scorching the grass.
