August 22, 2014. Part 2. Campfire

George has mastered campfire-making, and this type of grill works well.

The previous campers had kindly left us some wood.  We also carry around some wood, old newspapers, charcoal, and paper containers including toilet paper rolls scrounged from toilets.

First, he made a nest to start the fire.....bottom layer of wood andpaper, with a beer 6-pack container filled with toilet paper rolls and charcoal in each of the 6 holes.   I had previously stuffed the toilet paper rolls with newspaper scraps coated with melted wax.  Our friend Tony gave us another hint....stuffing the toilet paper rolls with dryer fluff works really well.


The fire started easily (this time)....


After it started, he added some bigger wood.  He also cooked some bacon, and the grease droppings made the fire roar.  

The finished product was brats and cabbage


Yum!
