a little info about firewood.. I advised before to stand in the smoke to deter bugs...there are three types of wood that you do not want to breathe...pine,poplar, and black walnut, these three are known to emit toxic fumes, pine and black walnut being the worst, poplar and pine would be the most common ones you would probably encounter, both are fine if not used for cooking, where you would be leaning over the fire for an extended time...pine ...burning pine for an extended period of time , especially for cooking, can lead to what is known as pine fever, or creosote poisoning, chronic cough, nausea, lethargy, and an overall not well feeling, the andidote for pine fever is pine needle tea, pick the light green tips, and steep like regular tea, but for thirty minutes or so, it is actually pretty tasty and adds vita c...if you camp or spend a good deal of time in the western forrests, this is good thing to know
