A campfire that draws smoke away from the eyes, thereby making the outdoor sesh more enjoyable? Count us in. The traditional campfire has always been key for grilling, roasting, and spit-firing in the wild. So how do smokeless pits fare when it comes to cooking? We tested a few to find out.

These are just a few of the images that have appeared on social media in recent weeks documenting police using their bikes to subjugate protesters , prompting outrage across the country.
