BUILDING A CAMPFIRE FOR COOKING
3
Step 1
Select a fire site at least 2.5m (8') from bushes or any combustibles. Be sure no tree branches overhang the site.
Step 2
Fill the fire area with crumpled paper or tinder. Lay kindling over paper in layers, alternating direction with each layer.
Use thin splits of wood or small dead branches. Do not put kindling down "teepee style". The whole fire area should be
covered with the kindling stack. Set a bucket of water near the fire area. Light the paper to start your fire.
Step 3
When kindling is ablaze, add firewood. The wood should be as close to the same size as possible. Distribute wood evenly
over fire bed. As soon as the last flames die down leaving mostly white coals, use a stick to push the coals into a
higher level at the back end and lower level at the front. This will give you the equivalent of 'Hi', 'Med' and 'Lo' cook settings.
Or, level the coals to your preference because by this point, you're probably starving.
Step 4
Once the coals are white hot, set the Braai/ BBQ Grate in the fire and start cooking! Enjoy.
Keep Braai / BBQ Grate like new by cleaning it with a nontoxic grill cleaner after every use. Do not place over a blazing
fire to burn clean, as this will shorten the life of your Braai / BBQ Grate.
