In unrelated news, im kind of amazed how long at least a few coals will stay hot in the bottom of a woodstove after a fire. 🔥 🪵🤔

how long?

All night. The stove was still a little warm.

good length, do you think it's due to oxygen control

I mean... its always about oxygen. And burn material density...

makes sense, burns a lot slower than my fireplace

My fireplace is much smaller than your fireplace.

pun intended.

I finally got my new axe, hoping for some favorable weather to try the self feeding fire soon

awesome!

It's the little things 🤌

Gotta also keep that in mind for when you are dumping your ashes 👀 🔥

If you hike just take a empty can, put some small holes in it and maybe a cord. You can transport your glowing coal to the next camp, occasionally swinging the can on the cord to gain some oxygen/glow if needed.

There's a whole "science" of fire-transporting methods.
