Might be a redneck campfire :)

Expecting the burn ban to be in effect during the last camping trip, friends came prepared.
Gas and charcoal were allowed at the time but no wood fires...
So.....

One friend's husband came up with this "campfire". It's a gas fireplace insert, cut down and modified a bit to fit their tractor rim fire ring.









The pipes are used in place of fake logs to disperse the flames....



It worked great! :)



The burn ban was lifted and we were able to burn wood, but it was nice to know we were going to have a campfire one way or another. :)

Not the fanciest campfire meal....

...but it seemed perfect to me at the time. :)

Good ole bologna on a stick.





with a cold beer to wash it down...



and a fire to warm my toes. :)
I did wear my warm sox but the fire felt pretty good!





It was a relaxing night...
