How to copy a particle system between objects?

Question

Right now I have a campfire object, and a separate prefab with a particle system on it (not made by me). I want the particle system component to be part of the campfire to make scripting easier, but can't find any way to copy it without maybe trying to trace it from scratch.

Any ideas? Thanks

EDIT: I already have an empty prefab with just a particle system on it. I want to move the actual particle system component (with all it's values and textures etc) to my Campfire prefab.

Go to particle system gameobject
Find particle system component on it
Press that gear icon
In drop down menu press "Copy Component"
Go to any gameobject or prefab
Press any gear icon on any component
In drop down menu press "Paste Component As New"

Now you have component you need in prefab or gameobject you need.

Thanks! So weird that you have to click on a different component's gear to paste as opposed to just right-clicking the object... puts the "ui" in "counterintuitive"
