Before it even GOT THERE, I closed out, LOL! Didn’t read all the comments, but no matter HOW “modern” I get, I will NEVER put gasoline on a fire! In the utmost emergency, MAYBE Diesel Fuel, but hope to never get that desperate. However, I most certainly admire your pursuit of ALL things fire oriented! I still think that inside of you is an “arsonist” busting a gut to get out……….but your nature has found a way to tame the urge! LOL…………KEEP having fun, Ken.that is what this earth is all about!

The brace, for the uninitiated, holds the bit and is shaped much like the handle of a screw type automobile jack. The bit, which cuts the hole come in various sizes, but for this purpose I suggest an adjustable one that can be found in any good-sized hardware store. Mine can be opened up to cut a hole as large as 2 inches which is all that is needed for this cooking log. In fact, if you cut 3 1+ inch holes around the sides of the log, mating up with the vertical shaft, it will improve the air flow considerably.

It is Athabaskan for “cooking log” (acutally cooking stick, there is no word for log in Athabaskan).

My people are Atha and we have used these for thousands of years. No drills obviously, but we used (and still do), hot stone to bore out the holes and bone knives to do the chipping. Not quite as round, but just as good!

Now to make it more survialistic.
