What Not to Burn in a Campfire

SHERYL MCGLOCHLIN: Hi, this is Sheryl with ExpertVillage.com. And today, we're talking about building a campfire in your own backyard in the snow. Now, there are a couple of things we have already put in this fire. We had kindling like newspaper and shavings, pieces of wood and we also have our logs in here but there are some things you should not put in a fire. Plastics for instance, should not ever go in a fire. Also, aerosol cans or things that are not going to burn; nails and different types of things like that. Other types of things that are--should not go--what else? WOMAN: Cans. SHERYL MCGLOCHLIN: Cans. Yes. Any kind of metal should not go in the cans or--should not in the fire. And smoke inhalation can also get to you. That's a factor right now. I was getting too close to this fire. A head should not go in the fire and so I'm going to move.
