Another source of fire wood although not wood is the Agave plant. Take the dead ones and burn the bottom part. Plentiful along the pacific coast
especially the surfer zone.

Agree with that, with one caveat: Watch out for the fleeing critters when you fire it up, scorpions in particular.

Most of the time we can scrounge plenty of firewood in Baja. Only bring some when out on the coast in winter---pretty scarce there (its doable if you
know where to look but pretty arduous). Like Woody said---pack it up front and put everything on top of it...use dimensional lumber so it doesn't
take up so much space. Whenever we use Bluestone for a landscape I save the pallets and cut them up---made out of eastern US Oak---very dense, so
high BTUs for the space.

Gasoline
Don't forget the gasoline, plenty of it.
A campfire is not a real campfire unless you use gasoline...YMMV

A good habit when picking up "firewood" in Baja is to kick it before picking it up....the critters tend to scatter with the rude awakening 
Don't believe everything you think....

Without the rocks what do you lean your hot dog fork against?

Haha...I get it...you have a point...kind of! I was mostly referring to seldom used primitive camping spots...if at the beach where many people might
use campfires I get it...besides, the rocks can be tossed in the ocean and "cleaned" off. If you are primitive camping in Baja in remote deserts and
you are running around in your bare feet walking into an old campfire is the least of your worries!!!!!
