>>1090023wind breaks are more important, but the two can often be combined
>>1090130>>1090189This guy knows his shit
>>1090145This also works really well, because you will often just find rocks where you are and shielding against the wind with stones is easy.
The rocks act as a heat sink so they give out heat after you put the fire out.
but you leave blackened rocks everywhere, and some kinds of rock explode (looking at you quartz)
I often dig a hole for the fire, prop the fire above the hole, then all the ash falls into the hole
Afterwards I can bury most of it and put the blackened rocks black side down over it.
There are better ways, but it's quick and you end up with a great hot-spot
>>1090873you are just putting the reflector too close to the fire, the fire goes straight up but the heat radiates in all directions so you can reflect it from a greater distance
