Quote HistoryQuoted: If ye ain't using poison sumac and treated pallets ye ain't a man Lol…that reminded me of a YouTube video where some people are grilling on a shopping cart with what looks like busted up pallets for fuel. He even poured what he called “season water” on the meat |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Every area has their favorite. All we have around here is mesquite, so I go west a get loads of pinon pine. It burns hot and clean and the smoke smells good. When we were living with my mother-in-law in Park City, Utah she bought a cord of pinon one fall for her wood stove. Best wood I've ever burned. Easy to light, burns completely, and of course smells quite nice. |

My bad, I misread the OP’s statement as:
“People make the best campfire.” And thought damn, what kind of sick bastards hang out here. |

Find a big old gambel’s oak tree that’s been struck by lightning and blasted to pieces. Find the dense oil rich knots where the main branches came out of the trunk. Needs to be old enough to be dry, but not so old as to be dry rotted.
You can also find a big old grandfather alligator juniper and cut out a dry, dead branch, cowboy style, but that’s probably illegal by letter of the law. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We're at hipster fires now? Great. I only burn African Blackwood. You've probably never heard of it. Were Horace Kephart, Nessmuk, Simon Kenton hipsters? Knowing how to lay a proper fire for any certain purpose and knowing how to select the proper wood is pretty damn far from hipster. Solo stove for your backyard, now maybe that's hipster. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: few Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Sorry OP, but you're wrong. Cherry makes the best camp fire. Beautiful blue flames. Very few "Very little" is probably 87 gazillion ashes, so I wouldn't say that was "very few". We're talking volume. "Few" is a number. "Very little ash left", if you prefer. |
