TEMPLE FIRE: This hearth consists of a raised platform, built of green timber. Four uprights support cross- pieces in their forks. Across them place a layer of g reen logs and cover this with several inches of earth. Light the fire on top of this. A po le across upper forks on diagonally opposite uprights can support cooking pots.
IN WINDY CONDITIONS:If there are particularly strong winds, dig a trench and light your fire in it.Also good for windy conditions: encircle your fire with rocks to retain heat and conserve fuel. Use them to support cooking utensils. Their heat, as well as that from the fire will keep things warm and you can use the rocks themselves as bed warmer.
Slate and shale have air pockets that when heated, turn into grenades.Fire should be contained to a small area with cleared surroundings of approx 2 m fire place will vary depending on use, Heating, cooking etcWind direction, shelters location and storage of wood should all be part of the consideration for the fires location and purpose.
