Grading firewood


Grading firewood makes a huge difference to your chances of achieving a sustaniable fire.  This is because one of the key reasons that a fire will go out is that you try to burn too big a piece of wood too soon.  By grading your firewood, you avoid that pitfall.

So watch this short video on how I grade my firewood., with a little more detail as to why.

We teach grading firewood on our 1 Day,2 Day & 5 Day Bushcraft Courses as well as the IOL Bushcraft Competency Course.

You can see plenty of photos from all of these courses on our Facebook page.
