The Swedish stove, also known as a "Swedish fire torch" or "Swedish log stove," is a brilliant outdoor cooking and heating method, offers stability and even cooking with minimal setup. It involves creating a self-contained fire using a log or stump of wood.
By igniting a vertically cut log to burn from the inside out, it provides a long-lasting heat source for extended outdoor cooking sessions. Its simplicity and efficiency make the Swedish stove a fantastic addition to any outdoor enthusiast's repertoire, elevating the camping and cooking experience in the wilderness.

Learn to make different designs of stoves.
Understanding outdoor cooking by using a natural stove instead of a modernised one.
In this exciting training, you'll explore two variations of the Swedish stove. The first method involves using a hatchet to split a log into pieces, creating a hollowed area in the middle where you can light a fire. The second method uses a saw to make vertical cuts into the log, dividing it into quarters while leaving the bottom intact.
After witnessing expert demonstrations, you'll have the chance to choose which variation of the stove you'd like to create. Plus, there's a sweet treat in store for you - marshmallows to roast over the fire, making this experience even more delightful!

In this segment, you will be skewering marshmallows onto roasting sticks and holding them over a fire! You will get the opportunity to master the art of rotating the stick to evenly roast the marshmallow until it's golden brown.
This is a final reward for you, after a long day of learning to make fires! You’ll get to select the method you wish to use from what you’d learned today, and then we shall see who emerges with the most perfectly roasted marshmallow!
