tesco are selling those 'fire pits' round bowl fireplaces that you could
have a small log fire on your patio.

then they sell for £19 a paper compressor (apparently you make newspapers
wet and then stuff them in and compress them, then when they dry out, kind
of solid; they burn like logs of wood).

has anyone tried all this? the idea sounds great (who doesn't like a
bonfire, even a tiny one) but how does it work out in reality? i'm
thinking if it was really good, people would have been doing it for years.
i know these compressors came on to the market years ago.

Just fit radiators outside in the garden. Much easier to do.
Why would you sit outside in the cold, just go inside.
