For someone that promotes himself as an Eco Warrior it surprises me to read that you use an open fire with all the mess and ecological damage these fires can do to cook on when there are a plethora of inexpensive environmentally friendly options available.
YES I know that much of the allure of camping is "Getting back to Nature" But there is Absolutely NO justification for destroying nature in your camping pursuits when there are so many environmentally better alternatives to cook with than using an open fire.

We carry a bag of barbecue beads and a bag of wood from home when we go camping, so we don't collect wood locally, we bring it in ourselves.
Like the previous poster, we also have a Cob cooker, which is excellent.
I have never promoted myself as an 'Eco Warrior' - you just made it up.

My friend have read a lot of different articles about weber and ziggy and......bought kamado joe jr last year. He always taking it with him when he goes camping or fishing. Although kamado grills usually heavier than normal and not so portable, he likes them more. Do you guys think he's sane?
