does anyone know how to make a smokelessfire, as practiced by the indians when they needed a fire but not to be seen? it is a small hot fire, with little to no smoke. i read about it in "the life and times of grizzly adams", and took my name from it lol! please help.{no i am not on the run, heh heh!}
Wood should be dry. Very. :-)
yup very dry wood and no greenery at all, also indians made small fires not white man fires, if you were on the run i would suggest a dakota hole, just google it.
hmm the only thing google and wikipedia could come up with for dakota hole was golf in the dakotas, or dakota fishin holes. but i think i get the idea. thanks folks!
let me look more into it.
very dry wood and keep the fire small
Also build it on dry rocks or sand, unless there is something unusual about sand that I don't know about that would make it smoke. It also need to be an airy fire not just a flat layout of sticks.
Why a smoke less fire if I may ask?
It's called a Dakota pit fire.
