please give some feedback, or fuck this idea up. not tested in real life..

You could use some kind of spring loaded log being fed into a rocket stove. The log will collapse and be fed into the fire when it is burned enough.

When it gets to this point it can't go down anymore because there isn't enough rope?

Kind of stupid to be honest, I mean I understand what you had there but if you took a moment to think about it.

i forgot to explain it a bit more. the first log falls in the fire after the knot melts / catches fire. the second log will fall after the first.

perhaps if you wet the third and fourth woodblock you can delay the third stage.

yeah but as soon as the knot goes on the left side, the rope wil slide through the wood, so that block number 4 can freely fall..

Ashes build up at the bottom and prevent the next log from sliding down.

Yeah that's one issue, along with the fact that there's not exactly a surplus of perfectly cylindrical logs. Could work for maybe a couple hours though.

Why do you want a fire that you don't have to tend?
Are you trying to burn down the forest or something?

Hmm, a little complicated, but I don't see any problems with it. For a long camp in a cold place, might be worth the effort.

It seems to me that it's still just easier to wake up and add more wood. Kids these days.

OP, I think the cord would burn/melt well before one bundle of wood burns up.

You'd just end up with all the burned bundles in the fire at once.

even if this does work out completely correctly, isn't it just going to put all four logs on the fire within the span of a few seconds? The knots aren't going to hold until the fire needs another log, I wouldn't imagine.

Long logs + vertical feed rocket stove will last a rather long time.

You know, you can just make a new fire.

Also, I don't even wake up if the fire goes out in the middle of the night. I just keep sleeping, and stay warm using my sleeping bag.

I swear, half of the posters here are just speculating on /out/ shit and have never actually been.

Hey I just had a great idea. It's to keep a fire going, with little to no equipment. I'd appreciate some feedback, so tell me what to edit/improve.

you sc/out/s are a disgrace.

you build the fire with big logs already under the fire. it will burn down to them over the course of the night and put out fairly consistent heat all night. the progressively larger logs keep it from turning into a bon fire.
