A Guide to Open Fires: Choosing the Right Fire Lay
When building an open fire, selecting the right fire lay is crucial. Here are four popular types: Teepee, Pyramid, Lean-to, and Log Cabin. The Teepee method is ideal for quick, hot fires, while the Pyramid provides a steady, controlled burn. The Lean-to is great for windy conditions, and the Log Cabin ensures a long-lasting fire. Each method has its unique benefits depending on your environment and available materials. Consider factors like kindling, fuel wood, and airflow to maximize fire efficiency. Experimenting with these fire lays will help you optimize your open fire for cooking, warmth, and more.
