Really interesting! But isn’t there quite a large risk of getting a root fire which would later result in a flare up? Or do you just drench the hole with loads of water? Again, very interesting!

or…..regularly give it a good poking and riddling!!!!

Hi Grimbo, tried it yesterday on a smaller scale in my backyard – really worked well, although found that the ‘U Bend’ I had dug filled up with ash and ‘coals’ fairly quickly, and prevented the fire from drawing oxygen properly. Am thinking either use a small metal grate, make the U bend a bit less severe or use harder woods that a slower burning as opposed to pine – cheers mate

please i insists you do try it out,thats why i post these vds ,not for my ego,but for people to learn and try the stuff out…please get back with any info when youve tried it…thanks grimbo.
fegman at 2010/02/20 09:47 says:
such a good idea, would never have thought about doing anything like this – but it makes fantastic sense!
hope you don’t mind if I borrow this concept off you and try it out next time I am out and about:?

peat looks like peat,honest you will know it,its softer,you can dig easier into it,

Thats a good point, how can i tell if the ground is…..Peaty?
I wouldn’t want to start some raging fire a day after i have left, or for a fire to start up right under me while i sleep.
Is there a method to tell? I know what peat looks like, but digging in mud, it all kinda looks the same.
wolfbushcraft at 2010/02/20 12:33 says:
a quick update on the science of this method…
The hole acts the same as when you blow onto your fire air travels through and its like a bellow,generating more heat,more heat less fuel.

great vid and info,is it right that you have the breath hole facing into the wind direction.

Very Cool technique Grimbo. Unfortunately most of the areas were I live are full of peat. but, I’ll Try it in the beach sand. Cheers, Grimbo.

I love the concealability of this fire. Essential in the UK.

Any where near “chalky caves?” Man made ones I have heard that were made during the Crusades.

Used these myself they seem to burn hotter and consume less fuel, I dont know the science I just know it works.
Nice Vid grimbo 5/5

i take it you have used it in another country?
RedheadCobweb at 2010/02/20 19:37 says:
Not a good fire for peat or pine forest, it would set the ground alight, but great for deciduous forst/woodland or a field.
Thanks for the vid, it’s very good to see it in action on UK soil
