    So, instead of meat poles at the camp sites, we are now going to have "burn buckets".

    Just s you k now. The prion cannot be destroyed by heat unless that heat is a consistent temperature in excess of 800°F for a period of time greater than 4 hours.

    Copy / Paste - The normal temperature which is also the highest temperature for a campfire ranges at approximately 1,100 degrees Celsius which is 2,012 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is attained when you have a well-stocked wood campfire

    JT and fellow HBC members . There seems to be a lot of information on the web concerning CWD . Have not read through a lot of it but will do in the next little while .

    Incineration has not proved to be an effective way to eliminate prion infectivity.
    The combined chemical and incineration treatment is showing better results, but certainly is still not 100% effective.

    A campfire would most definitely NOT "kill" CWD.

    A new concern being investigated with Incinerators is the potential airborne release of prions into the atmosphere.
    Air and water borne active prion escapement would definitely happen in an open campfire situation.

    Yes, I would agree, a campfire is not a great idea.
    Proper disposal is.
    I only brought up burn buckets because it is popular in some States of the U.S.
    But, most of them have them at their place or a camp they frequent often.
    And yes, you would have to stoke it to keep it hot enough and for a few days till everything is close to ash.

    A high Temp incinerator would still be best.
    Mind you, all our garbage should be treated this way! (if not recyclable)

    ^^ ya, the solution is not a local campfire CWD cookout. It is high intensity incineration. They don't have this entirely sorted out yet. Still looking at solutions.
