Posted on June 25, 2019June 25, 2019 by Adorable Living Spaces

Is your camp running low on wood? Can’t haul logs from one end of the property to another? Is your BBQ pit on its last leg? Then a Swedish torch might be just the thing you need!

This amazing method will revolutionize your outdoor cooking experience forever!

The story is that the “Swedish torch” was created by a train hopper who used the trick to stay warm between train rides. It Is very simple and very efficient method for using wood.

Here’s How to make a Swedish Torch:

  1. Get a log that fairly wide and flat on its bottom and top.
  2. Use a saw or a large cutting, make two or three cross-hair cuts on the top around three quarters down.
  3. Use kindling or a Bernie on top to start a fire and watch as the airflow beneath gives life to it and lights the top of the log.
  4. As The top of the log burns, coals will fall down and light the lower portions of the log giving you a long lasting hot fire.

The benefit of a flat log will mean you can put cooking implements on top and use it for your campfire meals.
