Bring dry firewood!!!

It's going to be cold and wet, and the Gresham boys haven't got much firewood. (Unlike last year)

Believe me I use to tow along tones of fire wood to go camping. Until I started making portable propane fire. I find it easier to pack 7 gallon propane cylinders then a half a cord of wood. The big plus is when there is a fire ban, the propane fire pits are completely legal and safe. Another point is I don't have to use there dumb fire pit area. I also found times I wanted the fire closer to my tent (yes there was a time boring Dave tented it) closer to the road or on the road or under the trees. I can even set it up on the supplied table if I want. I usually take a couple tanks with me just I case. You can also turn it up and down at anytime.

I also have one of these.

I am with Dave. have you ever tried starting a fire with wood when its soaking wet. then again in the morning and every-time you leave the camp you need to dump water on it to completely put it out. propane is just turning on the gas on and the when you leave the camp you turning it off and go.

Don't get me wrong I love wood fires, but for ease propane.

you know you could always use the propane for starting and maintaining the wood fire..
