fire on a beach.
1. Get some stones and make a small circle.
2. Put some little sticks and twisted up paper in it. Fire lighters or firelighting gel will help too. This is your kindling. It burns quickly and will help light your bigger, longer lasting fuel
3. Put several smallish logs (from supermarket, garage, etc. freshly collected wood is often damp) on at angles over your kindling. Kinda like a pyramid stuffed with kindling. Leave gaps so air can get to the base of the fire.
4. Light the kindling.
5. Hopefully your logs will catch fire.
6. You might need to blow gently into the base to help the kidling burn the logs.
7. when the fire is burning nicely, sit back and enjoy some beer. When it's burned down (few hours) and is glowing hot put a wire grill over it. I use the one i use in the house, just the wire bit not the tray,
8. cook food.
9. Don't start too big, just put a few logs on or you'll smother your kindling.
10. Turn your logs frequently to the unburnt bits to burn them
If you don't have time to sit back and enjoy the making fire/burning it down bit, use an instant barbeque. Take the lid off, light the coal, wait for the flames to stop (you don't want to cook in flames, your food will taste of coal) and cook.
Or use one of these amazing things. I've seen them in all the major supermarkets this year. It's a fire bucket, its a barbeque, and you can take it away with you after and causes no mess to the surroundings you are enjoying. Fab. Any more help you need lovely, just ask.
