Local fallen tree branches,

Potentially great, but they'll take literally hours to burn through
before they're ready to cook over. You'll also need about 3x the volume
and 10x the weight, compared to charcoal, to get similar "cooking
power".

You can also throw more charcoal on and be back cooking in a couple of
minutes, but a log of timber will set you back ages.
