That's the hard way.   Easy way: 1) Siphon somebody elses fuel into a plastic bottle. 2) Find something or somebody burnable. 3) Empty plastic bottle over aforementioned burnable thing. 4) Retreat 5 paces. 5) Light Zippo and lob at fuel covered burnable thing.   Result. Nice campfire and no injuries :)   NB: Previous experience allows me to note that local councils, police and fire brigades do not condone this method of keeping warm.                                                                                                                                                                             

We're not allowed to have camp fires   Do tents count as camp fires tho'?                                                                                                                                                                              

Only if its someone else's                                                                                                                                                                             

10 out of 10 Oggy   Somebody else's tent is a most appropriate and righteous burnable thing   If we're not allowed campfires we'll just have to have flame or fire features.   I've always found that posters saying no campfires make excellent firestarting material - as do witches
