Bring your own fire pit?

We've carried a "fire pan" for years. First came in contact with one on a river trip in the mid-70s and thought it was a good idea. There are several on the market these days from various companies. Some have cooking grill attachments. I found ours at a junk...uhhh, excuse me...re-cycling yard and I think it was an ash tray from a wood- or coal-burning stove in its former life.

It sure is nice to drive away from a camp site--we use "dispersed camping" areas mostly--and leave no ashes.

Might be un-American, but I don't build a fire. If others want it I let them deal with it, but when alone I just don't see any point in one. I don't need it for light and if I need it for heat it's time to go to bed. Yes, I'm single but I've successfully made the need for heat argument with previous GF's.

That being said, I like the trash can lid idea. I'll file it for future ref.

We, too, have started to use a fire pan. Like flywgn, we were introduced to them on a rafting trip in New Mexico. Ours is made by Cambridge Welding and has a detachable cooking grill. No trace of the fire is left behind because the pan is held off the ground on a stand, a big plus at the dispersed camping sites we frequent.
