Sharpen sticks to roast marshmallows on the end <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I like to use green or at least not totally rotten sticks, approx 1/4" in diameter. Starting about 3" from the tip, i use my knife to remove wood, creating a conical point. Spear marshmallow along it's major axis and roast till desired level of roastage is achieved.
