    Must be in the UK, because if you lit an open fire outdoors in the middle of june anywhere else in Europe you’d get dunked with a couple tons of water from a fire helicopter by the time you finished roasting your first sausage.

    Global warming is great.

      I think it’s only possible this year because we’ve been having sudden rain after a mostly hot and dry May, the previous couple of summers have had more than a few wild fires in the UK

        How does that work in the UK from a regulatory perspective? I believe where I am it’s outright illegal to light a fire outdoors in the summer without a permit and warning the relevant authorities, but maybe in the UK it’s a weather advisory type deal where it depends on how dry it is at the time?

        I could be wrong about either of those, I’m speaking entirely from memory.

      In France, the risk of forest fires is too big, but here and there in Germany campfires are allowed these days.

      Living so close to Ontario, Canada, and getting air adisories for all the horrible wildfires they’ve been having, it’s a little painful to see lol 🙃 .

      But if OP’s geography allows them to do it safely, it’s a really cozy portable setup.
