wot r the rules about starting fires on beaches?

Sigh.

If I can build fire, being a girl an all, then testosterone boy can surely harness his manhood and build one too...

Oh I'm sure he could light it, couple of gallons of petrol, sorted.

It's the waiting bit I have my doubts about.

Why are there pebbles on the beach? A beach is sand, clean white sand and hot sun. Might as well go have a bbq in a quarry or a pile of stones in a garden supply yard.:)

Madness!
They must need a small army to replace the numbers twice a day.

Some twat obviously needs a swift kick in the groyne.

3. Put several smallish logs (from supermarket, garage, etc. freshly collected wood is often damp) on at angles over your kindling. Kinda like a pyramid stuffed with kindling. Leave gaps so air can get to the base of the fire.
4. Light the kindling.
5. Hopefully your logs will catch fire.
6. You might need to blow gently into the base to help the kidling burn the logs.
7. when the fire is burning nicely, sit back and enjoy some beer. When it's burned down (few hours) and is glowing hot put a wire grill over it. I use the one i use in the house, just the wire bit not the tray,
8. cook food.
9. Don't start too big, just put a few logs on or you'll smother your kindling.
10. Turn your logs frequently to the unburnt bits to burn them


If you don't have time to sit back and enjoy the making fire/burning it down bit, use an instant barbeque. Take the lid off, light the coal, wait for the flames to stop (you don't want to cook in flames, your food will taste of coal) and cook.

Or use one of these amazing things. I've seen them in all the major supermarkets this year. It's a fire bucket, its a barbeque, and you can take it away with you after and causes no mess to the surroundings you are enjoying. Fab. Any more help you need lovely, just ask.

Mouldy, get one of those bags of charcoal jobbies. You just set fire to the bag, which in turn sets fire to the charcoal inside.

Hollow out some stones, put the bag in, light it, and then stick an oven shelf or something over the top.

Cook meat. :smilie4:

Once it gets going, just add extra charcoal as and when it looks like it's dying down.

Easy. As. Piss.

Fuck's sake. Can't you just do that thing where you pretend to steal her nose, or pick coins from behind her ear or something.

Startin' a fire on a beach over here is a $5,000 fine or a maximum of 5 years in prison, I believe.

"Land of the free".... :whistling

No problem. Next installment, how to make a waterproof shelter out of a few sticks and a cocktail umbrella.

Honestly though Mulder, ignore these guys. How are you meant to know how to do stuff if you've never done it before? There's a first time for everything, and life is about learning new things. Rest of you chaps, you should be ashamed of yourselves...

Still wouldn't let him feed me chicken he'd cooked on a beach barbeque though. :sick:
