Upside down fire 🔥

[billsedutto]

I build fires in my wood stove like this and it works really well.

How little smoke thats making is pretty impressive. I dig it.

As someone who knows little to nothing about camping, I was expecting an upside down flame 😂

Sixty years ago i read a book devoted to early American literature and in the book was a letter, with instructions, written in the 17th Century stating that the Lenni-Lenape referred to this kind of fire as a Council Fire, for obvious reasons and seasoned tribal firebuilders often controlled the length of the Council by the size of the fire. A lesson I have never forgotten.

Also known as the top down method. I use this 90% of the time because it's the most efficient fire as it burns the off gasses with minimal smoke.

This is one of the most useful channels on the Internet

One of the most educational and straightforward video I’ve seen

Can't stop looking at it. For some reason it is peaceful 😊

Your beard and manly survival tips wasn't enough. Now you're wearing glasses and displaying a cool dude handsome studmuffin vibe! Melt my heart fully, man!

I’ve been doing this the other way for 2 decades. I’m pissed. Thank you.

[SlimeGreen]

That was a beautiful fire. Barely any smoke too

[Volgotha]

Literally the fire my mom taught me to make in our fireplace ❤

[paulahaller]

Wow! Thanks!

After 30+ years of avid camping, this is something i was not aware of. I now recognize that I've used this method in a manner to get damp wood going. But it was not out of awareness, but rather hand feeding the flames for a bit. Which ends up doing the same thing.

I will definitely be giving this a try.

I saw a guy pack dirt in between the big stuff at the bottom and it took like a day and a half for it to burn all the way down. He was using bigger stuff than you had down there.

I swear this is the best channel I've followed so far. I only care for useful information and this gold.

[aviandragon]

I was considering lighting my upstairs neighbor's apartment on fire because I didn't think fire was capable of burning downwards. Glad I watched this first. 👍

[Kenrico]

I thought the fire would burn downwards. I feel like an idiot yet I've gained knowledge. I've never been camping nore do I know how to start a fire, but this has taught me something. Thank you.

I’ve done this in our wood stove a few times and works great there too! Lol…the first time my hubby saw me doing it, he asked me what I was doing. Told him I saw it on YouTube for a campfire (this was several years ago) and figured if it worked great for a campfire, it should work just as well in a stove. At first he thought I was nuts. I told him, “if it doesn’t work like think it will, we don’t ever have to do it again. However, it did work like I thought it would and instead of having to add more wood to it within 30-45 minutes like normally, it burned for a longtime. He was amazed. ☺️
