They would allow the stand alone fire pits as long as you were cooking on them too.  But it just ain't the same as being in the woods, so we didn't bother with the hassle.  No problem anymore tho.]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 22:41:57 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8553#8553 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8550#8550 Author: rpodcamper.com

I lived in the city for 16 years and found that "Campfires" were against the law, BUT "Cooking" Fires was not against the law.  So each time we lit a fire in the back yard there was always a pot of water boiling over it.  Got to the point that the police stopped coming to check on my fires when they got calls about it.  So much better now that we moved out of the city and have the space to burn.  ]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:45:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8550#8550 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8549#8549 Author: yizit

That's what I thought.  Seems to me they make the bricks by firing them in high tempts.  We've never been able to have fires in our own back yard until this year.  Lived in the city where it was prohibited.]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 15:09:59 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8549#8549 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8546#8546 Author: techntrek

I've used landscaping bricks (porous off-white variety) for years as a fire ring at home and never had a problem.]]> Thu, 10 Dec 2009 08:07:51 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8546#8546 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8541#8541 Author: rpodcamper.com

you should be ok with the bricks.  My burn pile  in the back of my yard is made from cinder block

Would the exploding rocks also apply to landscaping bricks?  We use these bricks as a fire ring.  Wouldn't want them exploding.  Thanks for the info. ]]> Wed, 09 Dec 2009 22:53:02 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8540#8540 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=952&PID=8539#8539 Author: rpodcamper.com

A reflector fire is really any firethat has some sort of flat surface behind it to direct the heat backout past the fire. This surface is erected behind the fire and pointed,for example, at the face of a tent, lean-to or other shelter. This backreflector can be made out of a few large slabs of bark, several logslaid against supports and stacked upon each other to form the surface.Rocks can also be used but just like those used to ring a fire, makesure they do not contain moisture. That trapped moisture can be heatedto where it's like a steam engine with no release valve. Explodingrocks can send shrapnel and shards flying in every direction!
