Name for this?

[JohnVee]

I pulled this picture from somewhere on MUD earlier this year and can't find it again. Haven't tried it yet. What I'm really wondering is what is this thing called?

That is a Finnish Log Stove, or just a log stove, in the vernacular.

If you have a chain saw, they are very easy to make.

Or a Swedish Fire Torch:

Like merryweather stated.. If you have a chainsaw... very easy to make.

The name of the thread was: Cool camp cooking idea

It is still on the first page.

I couldn't remember if it was in the Cooking , Camping, or Chat sections and was wanting a fast response for the person I was showing the pic to. Thanks for posting it in the first place, Zags. I'm planning on trying this once I get some suitable logs. Can't wait. Impressive cool factor.

Have you tried it yet?

Yes, works like a charm. Be sure to place it somewhere where you can leave a burning log for several hours. I did it right in a fire pit, then stoked up a nice campfire after cooking. You need to let it get going pretty well before you get a somewhat consistent temperature.

Looky what I found

Home Depot. No, I didn't buy one but I'm tempted. $13 for a piece of wood!

13 bucks for a crappy piece of birch....

The only way to make more money with that small amount of material would be a wooden leg.

I think it was called a Russian torch the first time I saw it.

not obvious to me that those are intended to be for the torch thing. Maybe just to be easier to split and transport?

The Sherrill Tree catalog just calls them a fire stick. Looks like climbers call them all sorts of names;

There is a youtube link in there if any of you have a slow day at work. Tree nerds might like the Sherrill site as well.

Home Depot sign says: 'Light 'N Go Bonfire'. As does the label.

no idea what that means. I can see that the slits would help the logs burn without being split in a regular fire of course. But without going all the way through the outside, there would be no air to feed the fire in the torch configuration.

It kills me how Google doesn't work any more.

Yeah, you'd think, but the video shows different (and they never lie, right?). I'll have to con a chump neighbor into getting one just to see.
