Lesson 6 of 13

Long-burning lays, reflectors and cooking fires

45 min

A teepee fire is wonderful for twenty minutes. Then it collapses into a heap of embers, and if you want heat through a long night, or a steady temperature under a pot, it starts to cost you. You feed it, it flares, you feed it again, and by three in the morning you have burned the wood you gathered for the whole night and spent hours awake tending it.
