Default RE: fire

When you make your campfire ring make it quite a bit larger than needed for the fire that you plan to have. Make your fire in the down wind side of the circle of stones. Place two flat stones in the upwind side of the circle 18 inches or so apart and place a rectangular grill on them so that the grill spans the gap between them and is six or seven inches from the ground. As your fire burns coals will form which can be raked across and under the grill.

With this set up you can cook anything that you cook on a grill, steaks, fish, chops, burgers, chicken, even vegetables (I know- FOOD eats vegetables.).

The fire on the down wind side of the ring supplies coals for the grill on the up wind side. You could even get a Dutch oven going and get serious about your cooking.
