Everything for a backyard fire night: cast iron, roasting forks, and the s'mores upgrades that beat the classic.
1. Prepare the fire pit by clearing a 3 ft diameter area of debris and placing the fire pit in the center.
2. Light the fire pit using 2 fire starters and 4 pieces of kindling, ensuring a safe distance from flammable materials.
3. While the fire is starting, gather 8 oz of chocolate bars (2 standard bars) and 1 package of gourmet marshmallows (10 oz).
4. Cut 4 wooden roasting sticks to 36 inches using a handsaw.
5. Skewer one marshmallow onto each roasting stick, ensuring it's centered for even roasting.
6. Roast the marshmallows over the fire until golden brown, using a pair of heat-resistant gloves for safety.
7. Prepare 8 graham crackers by breaking them in half to create 8 squares.
8. Assemble the s'mores by placing one roasted marshmallow between two graham cracker halves and adding a piece of chocolate in between.
9. Serve the s'mores immediately while warm and gooey.
