Eradicator of dead wood and toaster of marshmallows -- fire. What could camping be without having one, or more...? And, if you'd like to see more research projects involving those delicious little sugary Peeps, you can try PeepResearch.org.

It's important to have your own chair when sitting around the camp fire. But I don't start fires.	What I will do, though, is toast Peeps marshmallows. Not good for s'mores, but roastable.	Mmmm, with that much sugar, you'd think they'd catch fire faster than this.
But at long last, they begin to take on a golden brown around their tummies.	When they finally char through, the outside is sugary-crispy-crunchy and the inside is squishy.	The marshmallow eventually gets all stringy, and not overly helpful to those taking flash photos.
