Nice video. Amazing how often I see people making similar videos, but then they don't even know how to light them properly! Lol

I don't know how these stump-burning videos became my favorite thing on KZread to watch. Well done. This is one of the best.

I suppose you could regulate it a bit by stuffing an appropriately sized rock in the lower hole so it wouldn't run like a blowtorch and you could simmer the pot.

I think eventually it would but be interesting to try. I’m thinking along the lines of a cork or the principal of a cork. So it wouldn’t have to be too terribly long.

Do you have to get kindling lit? Or feed kindling in? Or did the fire starters light the actual log itself? if thats the case is just a one or two time use stove or how long do you find one log lasts?

imagine turbo charging this

Pretty good idea if you are carrying the equipment to do it. Not feasible when out camping though.

Yes, I understand but these are something you can build at home and take on your family camping trip. Or just use them around the campfire at home. Are they practical? No I do not think so but they are a lot of fun to make and they are a lot of fun to sit around and do use. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to watch the video and leaving a comment.

Look up ‘auger bits’ at your local diy. Probably a one, one and a half diameter. And after using my battery powdered drill to try and core an oak railway sleeper I can say… if you hear it struggling to much, back it out right away, clear the wood chips and go back in. Or better yet, use a mains powered drill with more torque and a beefy gear box.

What was the material you cut up and used as a lighter? And do you have any wood preferences? thx

Hey Michael, it’s just fire starter that I used. I got it at our local hardware store in the camping section. I like using the softwood like pine. It’s easier to get going but the only downside is that it leaves a little creosote if you’re boiling water. I think a hardwood would work just as good once you got it lit. I think it would definitely last a bit longer.

I suppose that you could regulate the fire by blocking some of the air inlet.

100% You can also turn the hole away from any breeze to slow the flame down. Or to get it burning better you can turn the hole towards the breeze.

Watch the smoke direction .

Not sure what the range would be but it was very depending on how much oxygen the flame is getting. You could probably boil a couple water in a minute after the flame is going good. I can boil huge pots of water within 15 minutes

I made one of these out of a freshly fallen tree that was almost 2 feet in diameter. The bit i use is a 3/4 but i hand drill with the scotch eye i welded on. The log was so fat, it burned for around 16 hours. If you want to stay warm all night in a bushcraft shelter. A fat log will do it. The log was 24 inches tall and i drilled down 18 inches.

Big Rob, that log lasted three hours. You could definitely use it for cooking for at least two hours before it would be hard to put a pot on. Depends also on which Direction you have the bottom hole pointed towards. If you put it into the wind the log will burn quicker.

Dude, that looked anything but easy. Who carries around a drill and a giant auger bit while out camping? Better the Swedish fire log way: with an axe, split the log into four pieces. Chop out an inch or so from the inner corners so that there's an inner chute. Tie the log back together with a coat hanger or buttress with rocks or other logs. Allow for a draft to get through. Stuff the inner spaces with kindling and tinder. Light it up.

Good idea for a video, but could have been just as effective in 5 minutes, not 11+.
