man I'm just trying to figure out how to use a fire for warmth. all I've ever done is make a big fire pit and throw as much wood on it as I can. the fuck are these rocket stoves used as heaters all about? seems like the smoke would suffocate you in a tent right?
I'm sure there are ways to build fires for warmth at night I just need to learn them.
