There’s nothing better than chilling out next to the warm glow of a campfire. While it’s not really that difficult to make a fire… it can be tedious maintaining a constant burn over the course of a few hours. Which brings us to this awesome little outdoor hack.
This is how you build a gigantic, self-feeding fire.
The U-shape frame, as seen here, must be precise, as it is meant to drop the logs as they burn, and having it too steep or flat will ruin this effect.
He places two sticks in between the two logs at the base
This allows for a slight gap where oxygen can flow, helping to stoke the fire.
LOAD THE KINDLING AT THE BASE AND LIGHT
Light the two sticks, and watch your fire feed itself
No more pesky firewood runs that interrupt your chill, your bonfire will now feed itself.
OXYGEN COMES OUT FROM THE SIDES AND THROUGH THE TOP ONLY. WHILE A CLAY BARRIER BEHIND THE LOGS KEEPS AIR FLOW FROM GETTING IN
