Split Log Stove - One Log Fire For Camp & Trail Cooking
Ойын-сауық
After testing a wide variety of different one log stoves I came up with this simple design that serves as a great way to have a one log fire.
Three cuts with a saw and one split is all it takes. It can be made in just a few minutes, takes little effort and fuel to get burning, and is easy to maintain throughout the duration of it's use.
The heat can be controlled to provide a low or high heat which makes this one log fire perfect for cooking.
Many of the other variations of a one log stove that I tried (including the swedish torch and rocket stove) took too long to create and often required special tools. They were difficult to get burning, and once burning they let off an aggressive flame that is only useful for high-temperature cooking.
The split log stove is far more aimed towards being a useful cooking fire. It can replace gear in your pack like twig stoves or fuel stoves. It's simple, practical, and fun to make. Give it a try and let me know how it works for you.
Thank you to everyone who watches.

That is brilliant, even easier than making a swedish fire torch and with more burn control
Found your channel through David West’s channel.
I didn’t think that moving the logs apart would make much of a difference, but it clearly does. Such a cool idea, thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Outstanding design and implementation. I love the heat control and fuel conservation of this method.
Your split log stove is a great idea. It works better than I thought it would. Watching you cook brought back a camping memory. Once I was cooking for several people and had a LARGE frying pan. As usual, I cooked the bacon first and beat about 6 eggs to scramble. The pan was still on the fire heating up the bacon grease. I poured the eggs into the grease and POOF! They cooked in an instant! I called them flash eggs and everyone ate them. No burnt edges or uncooked center. I have never been able to reproduce that event. God bless!
I envy those who can spend this much time in the woods. I like the woods.
I will definitely be trying this my next time to the woods. Super idea!! Well done thanks

Let me know how it works for you!
That was a great method. Never seen it done like that, very clever. Well done.
I've known your channel for over a year. Came from the log home in the Canadian wilderness videos. Glad you're still making content!
Love the video and will definitely give it a try. The only thing I’ll do differently, is cut the base from a larger diameter tree so the logs have more room to move around. Thank you!

Have fun! Thank you for watching.
A new take on the Swedish torch. Great idea! It provides control and fuel conservation that the Swedish torch doesn't allow.
Glad your back with more good outdoors tips. Keep em coming.
Wow! I was a bit skeptical when I started watching, worried that it would be too easy for the log to fall over. I am impressed, it seems to work very well! Thanks for sharing.

The logs are rather sturdy when just split in half. It's when you quarter them to try and replicate a swedish torch that they tip over quite easily. Thanks for watching! Happy trails.
Years ago, I would have wondered why someone would bother going out into the woods to make breakfast. Now, I can't go anywhere without assessing an area for bushcraft camp worthiness. 🙂 My wife even got me fatwood as a Christmas gift last year. I like this split log idea. Will definitely use it. Thank you!
You CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Great video! I'm looking forward to trying this & seeing more of your videos.
This is a great idea for a makeshift stove when no other tools or accessories are available in the field. Brilliant idea, both inventive and creative! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars
Pretty good idea, worked really well on that breakfast. Thanks for sharing it with us. Stay safe. 🙏
As a fellow Canadian myself I can admit that this is a certified Canadian classic keep up the good work
Greetings form Naples, Florida. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Have a wonderful week. 👍
This was extremely interesting and helpful ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
2:18 - "One split is all we need" Sounds like a great bushcraft kumbaya song😜 Great vid thanks! 😃

This is great, I look forward to trying it out myself!
That was a great one. Looking forward to trying this on my next camping trip. I've been doing a lot of quick car camping trips his summer (due to how busy I am with work) - but I've been doing all my cooking over a fire. This will be a fun project.
That was very therapeutic to watch. I look forward to giving that a try myself. All the best.
David West recommended your channel while demonstrating the split log fire. You offer great information that will be helpful on the other side of the pond here in SE Asia. We watched this video from our homebase and "secret retirement location" in Bulacan Province, on Luzon Island in the Republic of the Philippine Islands. Now, time to hit that subscribe button.
Another great video. Thanks for sharing. I will definitely try this out.
this is science, mate. youve done the research for us. well done!
That is pretty awesome. Looking forward to trying it.
Thanks for sharing, excited to try this method.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
You're a great teacher, thank you for these posts!
I will surely be doing this on my next adventure! Love your videos and have learned so much! Thank you!
Great video!
Awesome and surprisingly effective cooking method. Thank you for sharing.
I’ve never seen this method! And I must say I much prefer it . Thanks so much for sharing 👍🏼
Nice calm and relaxing especially with that cool technique with the log
So happy to see you sharing again. Your content really gives me ideas to do with the kids as a challenge and for something different than the norm thank you
This one is a classic!!.....I can’t wait to give this a go
Definitely trying this out. Thanks!
I love these 'how to' type vids, thanks for another great idea! I made a single log stove recently out of a birch log, using a 2in hand drill to make a central hole and an airflow hole half way down. worked really well for boiling water.

I was thinking the same thing. Pretty much a wooden rocket stove.
Not breaking the egg yolks when you flipped them with a wooden spatula impressed me the most!
I absolutely love how you make perfect shots on the nature scenes. Along with the narration. I actually wanna go outside and make something like this. But.. i don't have wood tho.. :(
Another great video. And educational too!
Wow! Absolutely dig this idea, great video!
Brilliant! Low to zero impact on nature. Absolutely love it! Thank you so much! Cheers...
It's good to see you getting out more these days brother.
Perfect, loved the vid. I appreciate everything about this video, especially the explanation of heat control and distribution. Thanks for the base tip also, i would never thought of it. Exactly these smaller tips make the difference.
Another great video! Thank you.
Super cool, thanks for making the video
Definitely trying this out this weekend when I go camping!
beautiful! I am going to try this, appreciate it
Outstanding ! Keep it simple.
This is great. Thank you for sharing.
Always great to watch your adventures instead of browsing Netflix for an hour! Entertaining and insightful as usual!
You’re the best. Thanks for the great stove video
I like your idea very much! Thank you!
This is incredible. Genius idea!
One of the better fire techniques that I've seen in a long time. Great video.
Terrific idea, glad to see you back.
That was a new, to me, take on the Swedish log. Much better with control of cooking. Brilliant.
Great to see your video 😃, great info on the split log fire, really like the fact that you can control it and how fast it goes out, keep up the great work and totally looking forward to your next video 😁🤙🤙🤙
Genius, love it. I'll have to try that out for sure. Cheers

Great video! Very informative.
I like video's like this where you actually learn something. This will try it this autumn is the Swiss mountains. Thank you for sharing!
There are so many variations of the “Swedish Torch”/ stove that, it’s sorta tiring to watch the videos. This seems to be a huge simplification and improvement on the basic concept of a vertical standing log fire. I can’t wait to try this. 👍✌️
Thanks for teaching!
Wow, great information! I'm going to be using this!!!
Awesome stuff😊
You always have the greatest ideas and the best videos. Keep them coming !
Great video, I'd never seen a log fire like this one. You usually only see the Swedish Torch fires.
Great idea thank you for sharing.
I learn something new! Thank-You!
Happy to have found this channel. Awesome video. ✌️❤️
I really enjoyed this video.
Great video very informative. Thanks.
I love this idea! I'll be trying it...

Great woodsman 👍👍👍
I stumbled upon this video by chance and loved it, I will definitely try this when there's an opportunity. Thank you!
Top tip, I'll be doing this next trip, thanks 👍
great project. thanks!
Kinda like a log rocket stove. Really nice!
WoW, very interesting. I now have to try it.
Thanks for the split log stove tip.
You rock brother!
Thanks for being easy to follow.
Brilliant video - nice and clear.....
This is genius. Its so simple and effective, I slap my forehead and go why didnt I think of this? Thanks so much for sharing! game changer for me!!
THank you for sharing your discovery on the split log fire. I thought the Swedish logs were the best way to conserve the energy and focus the heat but you showed a better way to control the heat.
