Well now, here's the question.  This is something I had in mind to do
as soon as I got the idea of having a cooking fire, but the way the fire
safety rules seem to wave, someone would have to be awake at all times
to keep an eye on it.  How does this work?  Do the places that arrange
this just have enough night owls who can stay up and watch the fire?
