Seeing as this is a DIY group I think you should post haste cut down a
tree, preferably one with some dry / dead branches. Then chop the timber
into small pieces. Then dig a deep pit and put the timber in there and
set fire to it. Cover with earth and allow it to burn while starved of
oxygen. By tomorrow you should have a plentiful supply of charcoal :-)

Can't hire a chainsaw till am. by that time, I won't have time to make
charcoal that Scouters have failed to purchase :-)

In all my experience, they have never been prepared :-(

I'm not a Scouter.
