    Well, I would love to be there, but such a long drive. Don't know if I can talk Mimi and Buddy into it or not. Would love to see you guys and your dogs again. Buddy had so much fun

    My new fire pit is amazing. Every night I start a fire from a bed of coals, 24 hrs later. Heck my wood stoves won't hold fire that long:hair:

    Chief, do you cover the coals with ashes to help keep them hot longer?

    Nope. They just seem to last. I leave the fire burning out and go to bed. Next evenenig, I just put wood on it and it takes off. Of course it helps that it is "Dennis" wood. Lol.

    I have been to Brimstone. Awesome place. We were there in the winter, 6 inches of snow on the ground and we got lost. Had to make it back in the dark. Use GPS. It's a BIG place.
