Years ago, I was a cashier at a Home Depot. During winter they had a fire pit that they were demonstrating outside the garden center. For the wood for the fire pit, we were using culled lumber.
After the first week the store manager ruled that lumber associates were not allowed to touch the fire pit because they had thrown so much wood on the pit that the flames were higher than the fence around the garden center.
At the risk of sounding politically incorrect, I’ll call that a “White Man’s Fire”. I first heard that term from a Native American co-worker who said, in a mocking TV/movie tone, “White man crazy. Build giant fire and then stand mile away from it!”.

I suppose they are being upstaged, but bigger is not better or safer for having conversation and roasting marshmallows.

Not so much a fire as a signal beacon……

I wonder if Tim Taylor is making that fire. He always did have to use more power.

Native American musing, “White man build big fire. Sit way back. Indian build small fire. Sit up close.”

OMG, it’s a Burning Bush. I’ve been wondering where He’s been since the Old Testament appearances. No recent sightings of his Son either.

The desire to start fires is one thing women don’t understand about men, but they know about our other disgusting habits

I’m guessing it’s Grog, despite the lack of intelligence he has.
