As one might expect, the article is riddled with safety tips that might make you think twice about even carrying matches into the forest at all, let alone actually igniting a marshmallow and putting your family’s life at risk.
It also warns that children should be given a stern talking-to before any of the “fun” begins.
“Some experts advocate a 10-foot rule between young children and a campfire,” it reads.
“For more information about campfire safety, let Smokey Bear guide you.”
Finally, the article gets down to “marshmallow basics,” and starts by recommending the use of a roasting stick “of at least 30 inches.”
That’s two and a half feet, or about half as long or more as the children roasting the marshmallows.
The article doesn’t recommend a maximum length for a roasting stick.
