I just recently went on a "camping" trip. (curse my parents for buying the RV) any way I still insist that we hive a campfire, and try my hardest to make them cook on it instead of the grill. well normally I just scavenge wood from empty camps. now normally I don't get very good wood but this was the exception. not only did I find the usual leftovers. I found quite a surprise, half of a bourbon barrel. it not uncommon to find these where I live after all it is Kentucky, but usually they sell from $50-$150, so finding one in a campground is odd. of-course it was in pieces and missing a lid which made it worthless, so I decided i would it burn it. BEST IDEA EVER! I threw a piece on the fire, and then the entire campsite smelled just like makers mark. so I Waited till the next morning and we used the rest to cook breakfast. IT WAS THE BEST BACON I HAVE EVER HAD! my only regret is I did not have more of this wood to take home.
