OldFingers57	04/22/2013 12:43PM   It looks like with these type of metal fire rings up at Sylvannia Wildernesss that a Reflector oven would work. I hate the ones that are like a tire rim that are sitting on the ground.

OldFingers57	04/20/2013 09:17PM   Well since both of them have METAL fire rings I guess I won't be bringing the Reflector oven but the Jello Mold Oven will go instead.

OldFingers57	04/23/2013 11:51AM   I wish some other places had fire rings that were flush to the ground.

Jackfish	04/20/2013 10:44AM   Yes, they have fire rings in Sylvania. Don't know about Big Island Wilderness.
