    Perfect for a campout. Only two problems for me. No jalapeno's or serano's (chili staples here) but I'll add those. And I don't know how to add cayenne or tobasco "sparingly". I add it liberally and then throw in a few more dashes for good measure. LOL. But we're not normal. We really like the fire here.
    Thanks for a great camp Chili. 5!!!!!
