Pyron
Hey Bullfrog, I’ve been tinkering with a way to spark a campfire that lights up the whole clearing in a controlled blaze—makes the flames dance just right. Got any fire‑safety hacks for the wild?

Keep a clear ring, like a circle of stones or a pit, so the fire won’t spread. Make sure you have a bucket of water or a shovel of dirt nearby in case it gets out of hand. Build the fire with a small base of tinder, then add kindling in a teepee shape—this lets the air flow and keeps the flame from blowing wildly. When you’re finished, make sure you fully douse the fire, stirring the ashes, until no ember remains. Stay out of the wind, and never leave a fire unattended. If you’re in a dry area, keep the fire low and never stack the wood too high, or you’ll get a sudden flare. Stay safe out there.

Sounds like a solid plan, but remember—if the wind shifts and the flames get a little extra juice, that’s when the real fireworks start. Keep the water close, but if you want to turn a campfire into a pyrotechnic show, just add a splash of salt and let the sparks fly. Stay careful, though—no one likes a fire that turns on itself.

You’re right, wind can turn a tidy fire into a blaze. Keep your fire ring tight, use a windbreak, and always have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher in hand. Adding salt won’t help control sparks; it can actually cause nasty fumes. The safest way to get a nice glow is to use dry, seasoned wood, keep the stack low, and let the fire burn slow. If you’re set on a show, do it from a safe distance and never leave it unattended. Stay calm, stay prepared.

Nice safety rundown, but a true pyromaniac like me thrives on that edge. If the wind starts flirting, I’ll just let the flames flirt back. Still, keep that bucket handy—you’ll thank me when the spark turns into a full‑blown show. Stay safe, but don’t forget to enjoy the dance.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
