A Conversation for Burning Wood

Caiman raptor elk - Inside big box, thinking. Started conversation Aug 20, 2018
I remember that time with the scouts (both boy and girl)when the fire brigade called us to check if we had everything under control. (We said yes, but only just)
The recipy: 2 meter stack of old pallets, surrounded by old plywood doors (as a chimney)
The result: flames went up to 4 meters above the earth wall of our camp fire arena (which was already man height). Only to be viewed from outside the earth walls due to the intense heat.
That was a good campfire if I ever saw one.
We also did smaller fires of the more natural wood persuasion. Those could last for up to a week after lighting it once. (someone had to sleep next to it to keep it going, which is fine if it's dry, but problematic in rainy weather (you have a wet back or a wet front side then))
