Whether you&#8217;re camping or just cozying up in your backyard, it&#8217;s the prefect way to to sit back and relax with your loved ones. You can cook s&#8217;mores, tell ghost stories, and just have a good time with the people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you&#8217;re new to building bonfires or have had trouble starting one in the past, you might feel a little unsure of where to begin. That&#8217;s why Blain&#8217;s Farm &amp; Fleet is here to help you create the perfect campfire that will burn for hours.<\/p>\n\n\n<div role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Table of Contents\" class=\"simpletoc wp-block-simpletoc-toc\"><h2 class=\"simpletoc-title\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"simpletoc-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#1-making-the-fire-pit\">1.

Making the Fire Pit<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If your campsite doesn&#8217;t have a designated fire site or you&#8217;re out in the wilderness, you&#8217;ll need to make a fire pit. Choose a location that&#8217;s away from trees, shrubs, or any other plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there aren&#8217;t any bare spots around your campsite, make one. Rake and dig away plants. You need bare earth for your fire pit. Be especially careful to rid the area of dry grass, bark, and branches, which can easily catch fire. You can keep these materials for tinder and kindling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make a small hole for the fire pit, and surround it with rocks to keep your fire from falling apart. You can also use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/fire-rings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fire ring<\/a> to keep it concealed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"bb-carousel bb-product-carousel\" data-cy=\"bb-product-carousel\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-title\">Fire Rings<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"carousel-controls\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"carousel-button carousel-prev\" data-cy=\"carousel-prev\" disabled aria-label=\"Previous\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-arrow-back\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"carousel-button carousel-next\" data-cy=\"carousel-next\" aria-label=\"Next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-arrow-forward\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"carousel-container bb-product-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-product-list carousel-track\" role=\"list\" ><div class=\"carousel-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/1500851-mr-outdoors-cookout-35-pine-tree-fire-ring.html\" class=\"product-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/products.blains.com\/300\/150\/1500851.jpg\" alt=\"Mr. Outdoors Cookout 35\" Pine Tree Fire Ring\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"product-title-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/1500851-mr-outdoors-cookout-35-pine-tree-fire-ring.html\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"product-title line-clamp\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMr. Outdoors Cookout 35&#8243;

You don&#8217;t have to find giant logs to get your fire burning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure the tinder, kindling, and logs are dry. Wet firewood can still burn, but will produce more smoke than dry logs. Wet wood will also make your fire much harder to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a little extra support, you can also use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/fire-starters\/\" target=\"_blank\"

firewood.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"log-cabin-fire\"><strong>Log Cabin Fire<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Once you have your kindling and tinder set, it&#8217;s time to lay the firewood. The name of this method kind of explains how the fire will be set up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lay down two pieces of firewood on opposite sides of the teepee. Stack more firewood across the first two pieces, running parallel. Continue building the fire with shorter and smaller pieces to make a pyramid or cabin shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A log cabin fire is sturdy, burns for a long time, and makes great coals, perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/campfire-cooking-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">campfire cooking<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"teepee-fire\"><strong>Teepee Fire<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>To create a teepee fire, continue making a teepee shape around your kindling. Add larger kindling around the smaller kindling. Set up pieces of firewood around the kindling and tinder to create a teepee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may require some patience, as kindling and firewood can collapse. Once it&#8217;s lit, it will collapse, but you can add more firewood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teepee fire lays are great because the construction allows heat to easily rise from the tinder and kindling.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-putting-out-the-fire\"><strong>4. Putting out the Fire <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re done with your fire, you need to put it out completely. Drown out the fire with a <a href=\"\/buckets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bucket<\/a> of water. Once you&#8217;ve poured a bucket of water on the fire, stir the wet embers and soil with a shovel or stick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once everything in the fire pit is completely wet, hold your hand over the embers and coals to determine if they&#8217;re still hot. It&#8217;s also important to check underneath the rocks around the pit for hidden lit embers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Douse the fire with water once more. A good rule of thumb is if the fire pit is too hot for you to touch, it&#8217;s too hot for you to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good campfire can enhance any camping trip. Just remember, to create the perfect campfire, you need to have the right materials and a lot of patience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-blue-background-color has-background\">For more tips and how-tos like this one, check out our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/tag\/camping\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Camping articles<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Building a campfire isn&#8217;t just about keeping warm, but also creating memories.
