I have spent many nights in front of the campfire. Telling tales to my companions, cooking hotdogs and marshmallows over the fire, and enjoying watching other people try to dodge the smoke.
It’s fun, but I have also had a fair few nights where either because of a lack of wood or the weather, a campfire was not an option.
I could have had a dinner of cold hot dogs and cold beans, but surely there are better ways.
And there are!
