Alternative fuel in a pinch
Why you might have to.
I don't recommend that you begin your camp-out with this method of cooking in mind. But fuel does run out; idiots forget to bring enough and seals do break and your precious propane fizzes out. The nearest fast food slinger is miles farther away than your wife and kids are willing to wait for. You are camping.
I have cooked with this method (experiments) with much success. I was always camping solo and happily shared the experience with others afterward and suffered through disbelief, exhortations, and sermons for successfully creating hot meals with a campfire inside my WindTamer.
I suggest using a clean burning fuel such as seasoned Juniper or oak but no bigger around than your thumb. Charcoal is good too. First you want to insure there is adequate space between the fire pan and the floor of your WindTamer and the table top. Make a bed of coals and cook away.
Small BBQ grills work well!
The Nomex shell melts around 770 degree Fahrenheit. But if your fire gets of of hand and spills out there could be problems, which is why we do not recommend campfires as first line. But, it can be done.
