"The campfire was of two basic kinds: The Smudge and The
Inferno...
The Smudge was what you used when you were desperately in need of heat...
The Inferno was what you always used for cooking."
--Patrick F. McManus

with the Texas Indian Hobbyists Association
quite a bit. We even camped across West
Texas and New Mexico one summer!
