We have a silly crazy giveaway today to celebrate the upcoming release of Jeaniene Frost's Once Burned ( A | BN | K | S ). Because Once Burned features a heroine who can channel electricity, and a vampire hero who can control fire, we're giving away FIRE. Specifically, a fire pit!
Cue me saying, 'FIRE! FIRE!' Also “YES, I WANT S'MORES.”
Alas, no smores or fire for me, but s'mores and fire for you!
The Grand Prize is a 40″ fire pit with a copper fire bowl, a removable screen, and a mosaic tile rim. It's about 65 pounds, it's very pretty, and if you throw some wood in it, you can make s'mores.
S'mores are indeed included, too. The grand prize winner will also receive a gourmet s'mores kit from Recchiuti Confections that includes vanilla marshmallows, bittersweet chocolate and graham crackers.
And since you'll be stuffed from eating s'mores and keeping your feet warm, you can read books! Jeaniene Frost's backlist is part of the prize. The winner will also receive a copy of Once Burned, plus:
- HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE
- ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE
- AT GRAVE’S END
- DESTINED FOR AN EARLY GRAVE
- THIS SIDE OF THE GRAVE
- ONE GRAVE AT A TIME
- FIRST DROP OF CRIMSON
- ETERNAL KISS OF DARKNESS
One lucky runner up will win Eternal Kiss of Darkness and First Drop of Crimson, and a Recchiuti s'mores kit.
What to enter? Craving s'mores (I so am, holy smoke)? All you have to do is leave a comment with your favorite thing to cook outside, whether it's on the grill, over an open fire, in the bug zapper or inside the hot engine of your car. The grand prize and the runner up will be chosen at random from the comments.
Standard disclaimers apply: Must be over 18 and wearing long pants to win. Void where prohibited. This giveaway is open to international residents, but please note: the firepit is only shippable within the contiguous US, so the firepit giveaway is open to US residents only. However, if a winner from outside the US is chosen, he or she is eligible for an American Express giftcard for an amount equal to the price of the firepit ($300US). I'm not being compensated for this giveaway by Avon or by the Federation of Awesome S'mores. I like s'mores. Any disclaimer issued by me is subject to silliness without notice.
So, let's get fire cooking! You've got 24 hours to tell me what you like to cook outside. Good luck!
I grew up in south Texas and we put almost anything on the grill, my favorite is brisket. It can feed a whole army or you can use the leftovers for more yummy dishes. 🙂
I really like steak cooked over the fire when camping—particularly the Cosco steak with the bacon wrapped around it.
Mmmmm… bacon.
Hot dogs. Can’t stand them cooked any other way, but love them on the grill.
Grilled veggies, especially asparagus.
But grilled fruit (peaches, pineapple) is pretty darn good, too.
This is a TERRIFIC giveaway. Thanks for offering it.
I haven’t cooked outside for years—I think it was pork chops. After reading this thread, though, I am dying to go out and fire up the grill…so many great ideas.
Everything tastes good on the grill, but really, toasted marshmallows are the most perfect food every created. Whether I choose to patiently toast to an even golden brown all around, or get impatient and light them on fire to cook faster, it doesn’t matter, it’s all good.
It’s definitely campfire pies. Oooooooooo, now I want one.
We cook our Christmas Turkey outside on the BBQ. Yummy! 🙂
I love grilled seafood. Mostly prawns, shrimp or lobsters! I’m so excited for Once Burned!
My favorite thing to cook outside is (strangely enough) baked potatoes & corn on the cob on the grill. Leave the husks on the corn & wrap the ears & potatoes in foil & grill to perfection. Your taste buds will love you for it.
IF THERE IS A GOD PLEASE LET ME WIN…..anyways that was my special freaky out loud prayer
I love to make rustic marshmallow souffles but besides that the ULTIMATE SMORE with the best chocolate imported from Italy.
*thank you for this opportunity, I literally read Frost’s books over and over*
(>??) l?ve you guys
A nice thick ribeye steak grilled to perfection! Yummmm!
mmmmmmmmmm….you are making me drool (>??)
i know what you mean…im so excited that i am wasting my time anticipating this book when i should be studying (>??)
wow healthy I love a grilled chicken my self with bold pesto sauce (>??)
way too spicy for me but man that pineapple cream cheese sounds mouthwatering (>??)
do not forget the butter! (>??)
theres a reason people call me pickle instead of nicole I LOVE ROASTED PICKLES 🙂

Steaks, corn on the cob, portobello mushrooms, baked potatoes, and onions & peppers.
I’ve never been able to pass up the classic grilled burger, perfectly seasoned, and accompanied by grilled corn on the cob! So many new recipes to try, though, after reading these comments. Thank goodness grilling season is upon us!
I’ve been looking for a good excuse to read Jeaniene Frost – would love to win the series and get to make some fire at the same time. Thanks for the opportunity.
We do the most amazing tandoori roti and other stuff outdoors… when the weather is right, just like today ^_^
I love making salmon on a plank either on the grill or in a fire pit (which I’ve only done once). Definately my fave.
Mountain pies! Or banana boats. Or marshmallows. Or even hotdogs… Clearly, it’s been too long since I’ve had a campfire barbecue…
My favorite is marshmallows just because it means that we must be camping! I love camping.
Love spiedies – only way to cook them is over a fire.
Whole trout cooked til it is charred on both sides. Cooked perfectly.
The skin will peel of in one piece, served with salad in the great AUssie outdoors(including mosquitoes).
I’m from Texas, so anything beef-related is a must for cooking outdoors. Especially but not limited to RIBS!
Steak is my favorite grill food. Medium rare, on a grill. Yum.
My favorite thing to grill is hamburgers.
Steaks and veggies—I have no imagination!
I like to grill kabobs. I make a fruit one with pineapple, peaches, strawberries and serve with ice cream. Also I like vegetarian kabobs with Halumi cheese.
Turkey burgers made from ground turkey meat and fixed just like regular hamburgers cooked done (no pink or red) served with lettuce, tomatoes, bread n butter pickles, white onion, chipolte sauce (taco bell). . . . mmmmmm good
I would have to say s’mores or marshmallows. Slightly charred on the outside, gooey on the inside! Yummy!
Great give away although I am outside the US so the garden will have to do without a firepit for a bit longer.
I love to grill pineapple slices. They are delish!
Yummy! Grilled tequila lime chicken with raspberry pound cake – all grilled over the BBQ!
We love to cook the classics such as hamburgers, hotdogs, corns, vegetables on the BBQ grill. That said, I am sooo excited about Once Burned! Been waiting forever for its release so trust me I will enjoy it thoroughly on June 26th!
Be sweet, cook da meat!
Thanks for a fun giveaway! I love s’mores and hotdogs!
