Dakota fire pit part two

[munckmb]

Hi, dug another Dakota fire pit today. I used a layer of stones in the pit for improved airflow directly under the fire and used two air channels instead of one. Burns a lot hotter and is very handy for a fast bed of coals.

Hi Guys,
The main use of a fire pit is because of wind and general lack of fuel. Buff or cow chips give a good useable fire with this set up, think open grasslands. I've used them ocasionally; they don't have to be very deep to work fine and it will keep the wind from using up your fuel too fast. I have used dried cattails and other dried vegitation including corn cobs (they burn hotter than aspenwood).
