Just a word of caution about that, though...  if it's dry and windy or 
fire-hazard conditions, forget it.  I'm sure this sounds like a no-brainer
to most, but one of the biggest forest fires occurring in California was 
started by a woman attempting to be a good camper by burning her toilet 
paper.  Paper is more likely to send up hot ash when burned.
