Answers:
Dig a hole and surround it with rocks!. Keep the dirt near by incase the fire gets out of hand!. also keep buckets of water near by!.

As for what to use, you could get those long two prong forks with wooden handles or just use some sticks!. Sharpen one end a little!. Use maybe like a pine or a mesquite stick!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dig a little bit of a whole, not much, just enough to get all the grass out of the way, and gather some large rocks, ones about the size of your hand will work!. Form a circle out of the rocks in the dirt you just cleared, then have who ever is roasting the marshmellows gather some sticks and build a little teepee out of them!. Take some regular paper, not any with ink on it, and have an adult light the paper then place it in the sticks!. Soon there should be a little bit of a fire, not huge, but enough to roast some marshmellows!. Be safe and have fun!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Use a 5 lb coffee can;-} punch holes around the bottom,
using a juice-type can opener (triangular)!.
Put a stack of charcoal or briquettes in the can!.
You'll need some newspaper scrunched up on the bottom!.
Don't use lighter fluid;-{ the taste will wreck the MMs!.
If you don't have any fondue forks, use coat-hanger wires!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When we were kids we used tree branches long skinny branches for roasting the marshmellows o, for a fire what about an old hubcap or dig a hole and use the ground, you can cover it up when your done!. what about your grill!? it doesn;t take much to roast marshmellows!. AprilWww@FoodAQ@Com

Maybe you can just use a coffee can and build a little fire in that and then use twigs for the marshmallows if you don't have a couple of long-handled forks or skewers!.

Keep a bucket of water handy in case the fire gets out of control or if fingers get scorched!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Long skinny sticks from the trees or shrubs in the yard work great for skewering marshmallows!. When I was young and lived in NYC we always used the hot coals in the grill to roast the marshmallows!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

once in the winter, i used some leftover chafing warmers (from catering at a wedding) to roast marshmallows!. don't know if that really helps for the backyard!.!.!. but it was a cheap around the house fix for my craving!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Start a small fire with some brush or sticks!. Then put some rocks around it to try to keep it caged in!. Good Luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I cook out on the grill I just keep it hot and roast them on it after dinner!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just roast them on your stove, with a skewer for kabobs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

make a circle of rocks and keep plenty of containers around it too!.
good luck!Www@FoodAQ@Com
