You can also do this by splitting with an ax... no need for a chainsaw if you do not have one anyway.... and you can use a lager log and split it into more sections. Fuel works, but you can also build a small starter fire in the center if you do no have any fuel handy.


This type of fire burns a long time for the amount of wood used.

kerosene seems to penetrate and burn a little slower, especially helpful for a wet log. besides i'm usually in the piggy and dont carry gasoline.

They are very popular in europe and the rumor is that swedish forest workers invented them for cooking their food or boiling coffee on top them, its a nice stand for a cooking pot.

This works great! I have used this method when I just want a small and hot fire in a limited or small space!
