lol I can see we have some real pyromaniacs here!
I'd be lying if I claimed not to enjoy the occasional campfire! Although I won't start one myself, there are times when I wont object to a friend or family member starting one of their own accord. Most of the time I prefer the silent darkness of the night, and the unimpaired contemplation of the stars.

Exactly...but what many people (mostly youngers) fail to realize is that you don't need a huge fire to enjoy it, cook or stay warm. Plus if you use very dry wood, there is very little smoke.
Cooking a trout over a small, safe, smokeless campfire is heavenly.

OK, so it would have been courteous to others if you did not burn a fire, and you were told so.

Wonderful, you know something you are doing seriously annoys someone and you went out of your way to annoy them more?
There is a saying: Your right to swing your fist stops at my nose.
The Great American concept of "the right to pursue happiness" does not give anyone the right to violate that same right of others and cause discomfort to them.

Do you have a big turbo diesel with the particulate filters removed so you can smoke out road bikers on mountain passes, or people at bus stops too? |
No diesel tritan 5.4 liter V 8. Have only put 6,000 miles on it in 3 and half years. So we enjoy camping at the coast. I own a road bibike to. No I dont act like a Harley fool its a quite rice burrner. Never breaks down.
Do you ever really enjoy life?Taken chances in your job or you one of the new followers that step in the political correct line.
Make no mistaake. I adhear to rules and laws because I feel its right. But when someone preachs to me I sometimes i have a little fun.
Plus you have no right to judge us you have no clue of what hppened there.

OK, right, no right to judge...but as far as not knowing what happened I only went off of what you shared and it struck me as intentional needling of your camping neighbors.
You have to admit that these days some people do lots of inconsiderate things, passive-aggressive things, under the guise of "following the law" and that is how I interpreted it.
Sorry, I'll try to keep my judgments to myself.

not everywhere...
ONP:
Campfires and wood-burning camp stoves are allowed below 3,500 feet only.
Since I have no expectations of forgiveness, I don't do it in the first place. That loop hole needs to be closed to everyone.

That's crazy, the Biolight only requires a few handfuls of twigs! Is that regulation new? I don't recall the rules including wood burning camp stoves last time I checked them.

Wood burning camp stoves that use minimal amounts of wood have been around a long time. The BioLight is just a recent (and expensive) incarnation -- people are excited about it because it uses a thermocouple to run the fan and recharge the iPhone.
The regulation is likely to avoid problems caused by folks using Hobo Stoves and other more primitive wood buring stoves, that require larger amounts of wood. Making the ranger nitpick with campers over the design of their wood burning stove would certainly be a headache.

I've only ever used the charging function once on my biolite, the fan is by far the most useful part of the device. It allows it to burn much hotter and cleaner than it would otherwise. The only complaint I have with the device is that it can be a little bit harder to start than a butane stove.

I was a bit harsh I am sorry about that to you seem like a decent person. We are all trying to do the right thing. Just us old stubborn farts have trouble understanding new ways of doing things.
Were going back Tomorrow for a few days we don't plan on burning driftwood, Walmart has a good deal on dry bundles of wood for three bucks plus I got anew fence saved and cut some of the old ceder boards.
Predicting 70 degrees there Saturday with light winds
Thanks for responding.

Have fun!
And for the record: I enjoy a little campfire now and then myself.
Trout over a campfire is among the best things ever, especially those Brookies mentioned!
Trout, potatoes, some onions, and a little bacon for some fat to brown everything, and ...yum!

My favorite way to eat trout is to cook them fresh from the lake, wrapped in tinfoil with butter and spices and baked in glowing coals.

clearly the 68 days since I was last here have seen some of the greatest manifestations of the annual "cabin fever" since I joined here.
unfortunately I was not present to offer comment on the "Cat vs. Bird Feeder" thread, which has since been locked (and not a moment too soon, I might add.)
the weather this last week should have compelled most of you to get out there and enjoy the blue skies and sunshine, but I guess we all can always find something about which to bloviate.
personally, I kind of like driftwood fires. I usually haul my household garbage along with me and toss a little on now and then just in case the smoke isn't quite acrid enough for my liking. I'm comforted with the knowledge I've received a good dose of noxious fumes when I wake up the next morning and my eyelids are glued shut.
indeed, as another member said: nothing quite like a fire than can be seen from outer space!
I wonder how well a Prius would burn? maybe I should check YouTube and see if it was a good idea to microwave one....
