Some really neat tips here - below is an example but I also really find the egg one interesting as well. Might try it sometime just to see if it works. Enjoy!

I thought this was pretty good. Predicated on a chain saw, probably, but saves a lot of wood compared to your average camp or cook fire.

“My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together.

“However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other.”

The only problem I see is how many btu's do you get burning this way compared to old fashioned burning? Normally you could burn 1/4 or 1/2 a log at the same time and get the same effect, but you'd have to load it more often. But isn't the point to sit in front of a roaring fire while enjoying your brandy and a good book?

He calls it a Swedish torch, implying its for light-- not heat.
