Maybe the closest replacement for a real fire, these propane fire pits are legal in most fire restricted areas. Propane fire pits are a great alternative to the open flame for providing heat and a cook surface. Some even have the look and feel of an actual campfire, like the Camco Little Red Campfire. Practically smokeless, set these fire pits ...

When planning to develop a new mine, or to extend the life of an open pit operation, mine planners have an alternative mining method to consider: block caving, an alternative with significant advantages that we analyze in this article.

Open-pit mines are used when deposits of commercially useful minerals or rocks are found near the surface; that is, where the overburden (surface material covering the valuable …
