HE PERFECT (UPSIDE DOWN) CAMPFIRE
Figuring out the perfect way to build a campfire can be tricky. The tipi method seems to be the most popular approach, but is it the most effective? The answer is no. If you want to build the perfect campfire, you need to use the upside down technique. Upside down campfires give off less smoke, has better combustion, gives off more heat, needs less tending, and uses the energy of the wood more effectively than the tipi approach. So unless you love tons of smoke around the fire, tending it all night, trying to find the perfect spot that keeps you warm but isn’t so close that you might catch fire, and burning through wood at a much higher rate than necessary, the upside down fire is your best bet. Plus, as an added bonus, people who watch you build it will have no idea what you are doing until they finally see that roaring blaze and understand the beauty of a well-built upside down campfire! 🙂
