>>2259722>“What the fuck am I doing?”>I realised that I didn’t even have to set up a campfire.If you dig deep enough into near any subject you'll come to the same realization. I guarantee you that EVERYTHING that seems convenient is nine ways of backward and fucked up. Designed to break. Designed to be inefficient. Designed to cost you money and your sanity. Now on the subject of fires: the typical campfire is inefficient, yet the norm. As is your standard wood-fired heater. You can use fuel much more efficiently (sometimes 90% less wood) using the right design. Look into: dakota fire pit, rocket stove, gasifier stove, rocket mass heater, pyrolyzing stove, fyro stove, and generally the older methods used before Schneider & co got involved. And this kind of stuff can be diy'd for next to nothing if the low running cost wasn't enough.
