WATER JUG: Don't purchase the one we use. They are poorly made.
$10 SHEET METAL: To prevent snow from coming in contact with fire. This is the first time we tried it as an experiment instead of using rocks. Worked well. Does bend a bit from the heat and really dirty and sharp edges for transport. Would work best if you own a truck. https://www.lowes.com/pd/IMPERIAL24...
COMPACT SHOVEL The one we own is for avalanches and costs over $100. I think this budget shovel at $20 would work just as well for most folks https://amzn.to/3smKMHY
