The best bonfires are several truckloads of cleared brush and timber that have set around all summer to dry out, that have been bulldozed into a large pile, then throw on a gallon of Coleman fuel and a lighted match after it. When it finally dies down to coals a day or so later, you can have a marshmallow/wiener roast for about a thousand.

The coolest idea for a fire was an old Burt Lanchaster movie I saw late one night.
Burt, an old grampa in the movie, described a viking funeral to his grand kids. He told the about putting the dead viking in his wooden boat with straw and other combustibles-then launching the boat out on the water and firing flaming arrows at the dead one in his boat lit from a bonfire on the beach.
Don't you know grampa croaked, peacefully, that very night and the kids decided to give him a real viking funeral They rolled his corpse out to the beach in a garden cart late that night.
Just as the adult members of the family came screaming up-slamming on brakes, the sun is rising, the kids are shooting flaming arrows, grampa and his old boat are burning brightly and it's too late to spend six grand on a "real" funeral.
It got me misty, real misty.
