How to Keep a Campfire Going

"SHERYL MCGLOCHLIN: Hi, this is Sheryl with ExpertVillage.com. We are building a campfire here in my backyard in the snow. Now, once we've got the fire started, a fire doesn't just automatically keep going. It takes a little bit of effort to keep this going and Oscar is demonstrating how you can keep a fire going. Now, we just used a little pie tin or you could use a hat or something but you need to be able to fan the fire. The air and the oxygen getting into this fire will be able to keep this fire going and it will actually help us a build a larger fire. Now, as Oscar is doing, you don't have to keep it going continuously. He fans it for a little bit and then he will let up and take a break but that's--an important thing is to get some good air into that fire and so just any kind of a little tin that you got at any of your favorite pie place, just put it in with your little camping supplies and this will work great to be able to fan the fire."
