You can cut your logs at home and bring them. Another thing you can do is take log spits or wrist size cut branches and wire them together, stand it vertically and lite it
One good log will last the whole evening

Likewise, when dispersed camping the chainsaw goes with. But in an organized cg, if wood is permitted to bring-in the chainsaw stays home and I bring my own. If I have to only use wood that is provided at the cg then we go without a campfire.Get campin', Renodesertfox A canvas campateer

Re: Found this great tip when you forgot the grill ...
Here is a variation of the Swedish Torch fire that does not use big logs or chainsaw.
This uses wrist diameter branches, etc. that get bundled together.
What I find fascinating is that this guy is in a swamp - you can see the wet ground he is slorging through. The wood he uses is green and even has moss on it - so not ideal firewood. Clearly, if you tried to have a traditional fire in that kind of miserable wet environment, it would be almost impossible - a smoldering punky fire at best.
Still, he makes a good fire... and hot chocolate .... and he says he will have tea later. The guy's accent makes it authentic.
