can i just put a word in here for english charcoal. It gives off very little smoke or smell and you don't need chemicals to get it going. Just wrap a piece in some newspaper and set it alight. I presume there is the equivalent in scotland and wales

you can get it in local shops, B&Q .. or even wallmart (if you must!)

those 'ambient logs' are ok, and they are very atmospheric.. but they do give off an artificial smell which can be a bit noxious

BBQ's and Campfires are fine as long as you set them up so all the smoke goes into your tent and not someone elses.

That`s not always possible if the wind changes direction. One night at Fisherground I must have done 12 laps of the campfire trying to position myself out of the way of the smoke, but as the campsite is in a valley ther wind just swirls.
