Cans or Bottles?????

Cans don't burn!!!!
If you carried them in then carry them out.

I for one am sick to death of cleaning cans out of fire pits left by people who think they burn and are to damn lazy to crush them and carry them home again.

Sorry, but in decent fire they do. Of course I am talking about drink cans made from very thin metal. Thicker one like those from canned fish or veggies also can be burned, but require much more heat and it is impractical. Do not make mistake – I search fireplace each time before left and take with me anything what not been burnt and leaving only ash. If I am staying couple of days on the same place I fail to see why I should carry home those rubbish that can be easy burned.

seen this argument a few times. - They do burn- but never completly
If you have a decent fire you can burn them but only when you have got it roaring. BUT I saw a guy to prove a point went back through and was still able to pic bits of molten alu out of the coals next morning.
I tried it for a bit and gave up. Its not easy often ending up with only 1/2 burnt cans more hassel than its worth trying.
Food cans are worth chucking in the fire and fishing out of the coals next day as it burns remaining contents and stops rubish bags stinking and attracting flys

Agreed Davoe, I burn food cans for exactly that reason.
Ally cans never disappear even with a huge roaring fire and if people bother to sift the ashes they will find them.

Pure laziness, If you carried them in carry them out they crush to almost nothing and are easily carried in the rubbish bag.

Well, it is strange indeed, but I always prohibit to kids make “big roaring fire” for obvious reasons. Also it not that effective and modest properly constricted fireplace collect red-hot coal much faster. Just turn it out periodically bringing all staff on top and by morning everything disappears. But frankly I very rare bring beer to bush, usually it is cask of wine – best ”volumetric ratio” and completely burnable.

I found putting a rubber band around each can stops them from rubbing together.
Works for me anyway

I've found packing the cartons flat rather than on edge reduces the chaffing of the cans (thicker alum top and bottom). Don't be tempted to stack the cartons on their side in some bit of spare space.

I vote cans.
Have preferred them over bottles for years.
Have a good look at the links posted above.

Skite!! I prefer to drink from a stubbie as I recken it tastes better out of glass, Although all the points above are valid concerning cans and certainly cans have many advantages. Heres to you!!

Ahhhh!! At last, a common sense, practical approach to the problem. I'll start retraining my taste buds on the basis of that comment. LOL

Tooheys now do the "Esky Filler".
36 cans to a carton. SWMBO doesn't believe that I'm drinking less based on percentage of carton/week!

tried that but had the problem whenever id pick up a can to wrap it it became empty - Gave up in the end

Don't you hate that Davoe?

Photo is a bit small, is in members pics....Cans for me, or bottles of homebrew. never had a problem with rubthrough or breakage, although most of my trips the cans are on Ice and packed pretty tightly with Ice (110 litre evacool holds a lot of beer and keeps it cold for a long time!)
