Excellent post! good old-fashioned Boy Scout Stuff.
One can add biscuits if one takes Bisquick in a ziplock or other watertight container, add water and roll the dough into long snakes, wrapping them around switches stripped of ther bark. Stick em in the ground close the fire and rotate occasionally. Pick your switches carefully tho.. the wrong wood can spoil your day.
