Picking the ideal fire set up for cooking depends on circumstances- this is the cabin Style<\/p><\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

YOUR IDEAL FIRE SETUP FOR COOKING <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We are so lucky to have so many options for cooking our foods, not to mention the option to not cook at all!\u00a0 This got me thinking about the fact that we do rely on our outdoor equipment and cookware when it comes to outdoor cooking.<\/a>\u00a0 Even if you\u2019re a person who has experience campfire cooking, you likely do this style of cooking with one type of fire setup .<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s look at some of the options for setting up an outdoor fire that don\u2019t include purchased equipment, just the natural elements found outdoors \u2013 rock, tinder, kindling, and logs\/wood.\u00a0 As I always like to remind you, though you may not use this information immediately, you should read it and keep a reference handy for when a situation may arise that you need it, such as a natural disaster, power grid emergency or other such catastrophic event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fire Setup #1: Trench Fire<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Trench\r\n
Trench style fire Set up<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the best reasons for learning this type of fire set up is it works particularly well in windy conditions.\u00a0 The key is to dig a trench that is large enough to acquire oxygen to keep it going.\u00a0 Best sizing is 12 inches wide by 36 inches long by 12 inches deep.\u00a0 Find rocks to add to the bottom of the trench that are hard and porous-free.\u00a0 Be sure the 12-inch depth is AFTER <\/strong>the rocks are added.\u00a0 Now build your fire on top of the rocks.\u00a0 You can secure tree branches to act as postings for supporting a spit or layer green branches (not dried branches) over the top of the pit for placing your foods.\u00a0 Of course, if you have a grill grate, place over the hole for direct grilling.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Setup #2: Dakota Fire Hole\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\"The\r\n
The Dakota Hole fire set up<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Dakota Fire Hole measure 12-inches deep by 12-inches wide with a channel that is 6-inches wide off to one side of the main fire area.\u00a0 There should be a 12-inch space between the chimney opening and the channel.\u00a0 The channel is dug at an angle meeting at the base of the fire pit area 12-inches down.\u00a0 Build a fire at the base of the chimney area which draws air in from the side channel producing a draft for outtake at the top of the fire pit.\u00a0 This is another cooking method that burns wood efficiently and produces very little smoke.\u00a0 Plus, if you should need to keep yourself concealed, no one can see the glow of the burning fire because it is concealed underground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fire Setup #3: Bushcraft Fire<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is an ideal fire setup when you know you can remain in a specified area for a longer time period.\u00a0 It is perfect for sustaining a fire for days as it includes flat rocks for cooking on, a rock surround for maintaining a safe fire area, and a keyhole channel made of rock that allows you to place larger logs for continuous burn.\u00a0 This produces a great bed of coals for cooking and if made against a rock barrier or tree stump, it can also provide the heat output necessary to keep you warm.\u00a0 Plus, you can simply push the long log pieces into the fire circle when additional wood is need for heat and\/or coals.\u00a0 No need to keep splitting wood.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Fire Setup #4: Log Cabin Style<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is a familiar fire set up in the camping world<\/a>.\u00a0 It is easy to do as you simply alternate pieces of wood from vertical positioning to horizontal, like building a Lincoln Log set, with tinder and kindling placed inside the base.\u00a0 This is a setup that produces a great bed of coals so it is perfect for cooking but depending on the amount of time you need for cooking, may require replenishment of wood. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Upside Down Fire<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This setup is essentially a log cabin style setup in reverse.\u00a0 Instead of tinder placed under the base of the logs, it is placed on top.\u00a0 This is also known as a top-down fire.\u00a0 Although you can use this for cooking, I\u2019ve found it doesn\u2019t produce the best coal bed.\u00a0 It does, however, burn a long time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Other Fire Setups<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are some additional fire setups that you may be familiar with but are not considered ideal for cooking. These include:<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tepee Fire: <\/strong>burns very hot and fast producing more ash than usable coals<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n
\"Teepe\r\n
Teepe Style fire Set up<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Lean To: <\/strong>although ideal for windy conditions, this setup does not produce any uniform coal bed and very limited heat<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Star Fire:<\/strong> Although this can produce a very long burn, because of the extension of longer pieces of log in a star-shape to the center of the fire, a true cooking coal bed is not formed, just a lot of ash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Additional Tips<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As a final reminder when it comes to cooking by outdoor fire, you are not cooking with flame or for that matter, direct heat<\/a>.\u00a0 Use the hot coals that are produced from the fire to cook with.\u00a0 That includes placing heat tolerant cookware on or in the hot coals, or even burying within the coals.\u00a0 The rocks are an energy absorber, producing a lot of heat.\u00a0 Clean, large rocks can be used like a griddle surface and have foods cooked directly on their surface.\u00a0 Remember, they get very hot so any unclean quality to them will be burned off with the heat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A final note, always have fire proof gloves available to grab log pieces in the fire or cookware placement and removal.\u00a0 A coal shovel is ideal as well for moving hot coals around.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget, when you\u2019re finished with the fire you made, ensure that all hot embers and coals are extinguished.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
