Filled the scout hut with bowdrill smoke last night...much to their amusement. They wern't so amused when they had a go :lmao:

I'm using goat willow at the moment, which is quite good. I got some nice ivy which I think I'll see if the scouts find easier, as it tends to be one of the easiest woods to get a coal from...
