The Little Book Of Building Fires: How To Chop, Scrunch, Stack And
Light A Fire

Product Description

Nothing beats the companionable crackle of an open fire. Fires invite us to sit & share stories or watch in contemplative silence. We feel drawn to the flickering flames, the gentle curls of aromatic smoke & reassuring radiant heat. Snuggled under a blanket, toasting crumpets & listening to the pleasing pops of burning wood
- what better way to spend a winter`s evening? Or, come the summer, few pleasures are richer than cooking food, perched around a campfire, waiting for the stars to come out. But for all this talk, how many of us know how to build a fire? Would we know which kinds of trees burn best? Could we make our own firelighters or build the perfect fire stack? The Little Book of Building Fires is a richly illustrated pocket guide to sourcing, seasoning & storing firewood, choosing kindling & tinder, & how to build & light the perfect fire. From campfires to woodburners, bonfires to open hearths, this book blends practicality with personal experience & will get you back in touch with your ancient firemaking instincts.
