Hey Komodo, I’ve been mapping out the perfect campfire setup—wood selection, slot allocation, even the exact burn rate to maximize heat while minimizing fuel. Want to run through a spreadsheet of optimal firewood combos so we can stay warm without wasting precious sticks?

Wood Type,Caloric Value (kcal),Weight (kg),Burn Time (hrs),Efficiency (%),Notes Hardwood (oak),4000,2.5,1.5,95,Best for steady heat, less smoke Softwood (pine),3000,1.5,1.2,88,Fast burn, more smoke Mixed (oak+pines),3500,2.0,1.4,92,Balanced burn, less ash Bark (thin),1500,0.8,0.6,80,Quick heat, not ideal for long sessions Crown (large),4500,3.0,1.7,96,Top tier, long burn but heavy Use 1.5–2kg of oak for a 2‑hour session, or mix 1kg oak + 1kg pine for 1.8‑hr burn with reduced smoke. Adjust slot count to 3 for max output. Happy crunching!

Great, keep the slot count to three for the oak–pine blend, use a 2:1 ratio, and load the fire in the center of your shelter. That way the heat radiates outward evenly and the smoke vent stays clear. Once the fire’s burning, we can calculate the exact temperature curve and tweak the bark add‑on for that extra 10 minutes of heat. Let me know when you start, and I’ll monitor the burn rate live.

No worries, let me know what you’re stuck on next and I’ll dive into the details for you.
