Square Cooking Fire

filed under: Ecology

Stick fires have become my favorite fires for cooking. They’re plenty hot for cooking a beautiful steak. They last about an hour then burn themselves out which is nice.

Square FireIn a few minutes this fire will be just right for cooking.

They’re easy to start and arrange in a nice square shape for even cooking. I always stick four sticks into the ground at the corners and then build inside of those post so everything stays put. After you put a couple down one way, fill in the center with paper, or whatever you’re going to use to light it, and then stack the rest the other way.
