I'm in my schools Senior Class Council and when i was a freshman we used to have this huge bonfire in the grass a week before Homecoming. But then our school was renovating and construction took place and it was discontinued for my sophomore and junior year because their was no place to have the bonfire with the construction taking place, but now that i'm a senior and the construction is over, i want to bring the Homecoming Bonfire back. If i dont bring it back, then our class will be the only class who remembers the Bonfire and it'll be forever discontinued. I talked to my teachers and deans and if i can figure out a spot and a safe way to have the bonfire, we can bring it back. The only viable area where we could have it is in the parking lot, but i need a way to have the bonfire without it scorching the cement. So do any of you yahoo answer users have any ideas on how to have this bonfire without it leaving scorch marks on the ground?
Cook them with med high heat and put a lid on it so that it doesn't get dry. A good recipe for good chicken breast is to put bl/sl chicken breast in a pan that has a little bit of apple juice to coat the bottom of the pan(13x9), sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning over the chicken, cover with foil put it in the oven until chicken is done. Usually 350 degrees and 45 minutes. Turns out great all the time.
You would probably have to bring a couple dump truck loads of dirt and build up the dirt layer to about one foot thick and then have the fire on top of the dirt.
even the dirt from four tri axle dump truck won't be enough to insulate that cement from the heat of a normal bonfire fire pops concrete/cement and melts tarmac/blacktop ruins it beyond repair is there a field near by - even the soccer or foot ball field - the field can be protected easier than the cement work - i suppose your school isn't country enough to be surrounded by corn? one of the farmers might let you borrow an acre for the activity especially if he is an alumni dump that dirt you were talking about on top of tarps on the ball field sometimes they use plywood with or without styrofoam sheets under it too for more protection keep the fire smallish around a cord of wood as to not kill or sterilize the grass/ground
