For a long-lasting and cozy campfire, you should use dry, untreated wood. Hardwoods such as beech, oak or birch burn longer and develop beautiful embers. Coniferous woods such as spruce or pine may start a fire quickly, but they also burn faster and can cause more flying sparks.

Why you should use dry wood:

Better flammability: dry wood catches fire faster and burns more intensely.
Less smoke: Damp wood produces more smoke and soot.
Less flying sparks: Dry wood throws off fewer sparks.

What you should definitely avoid:

Treated wood: Wood that has been treated with paints, varnishes or other chemicals should never be burned in a fire. The vapors can be harmful to your health.
Waste wood from building sites: Wood left over from building sites is also often contaminated with harmful substances and should not be burned.

A tripod is an indispensable utensil for any campfire. It is used to hang cooking utensils such as pots, kettles or grill grates safely above the fire. The advantages of a tripod are obvious:

Flexibility: you can adjust the height of the cookware to suit your needs.
Stability: A well-designed tripod provides a secure stand for your pots and pans.
Versatility: You can use different types of cookware, from small pots to large kettles.

A reflector stove is a practical utensil for all campfire fans, with which you can take your outdoor cooking to a new level. Imagine you have a cozy campfire and want to try out even more culinary options in addition to the classic barbecue. That's exactly what the reflector stove is for!

How does it work?

Indirect heat: In contrast to direct grilling over an open flame, the reflector oven uses indirect heat. It is placed some distance from the fire and absorbs the heat.
Heat reflection: The special design of the oven ensures that the heat is reflected and stored inside the oven. This enables gentle and even cooking.
Versatility: You can prepare a variety of dishes in the reflector oven, from bread and cakes to casseroles and roasts.

Advantages of the reflector oven:

Even cooking: The indirect heat means your food cooks more evenly and doesn't burn as quickly.
Versatility: You can bake as well as roast.
Quick preparation: The reflector oven makes optimum use of the available heat from the fire, so you don't have to wait long for your food to cook.
Flavorful: Cooking in the reflector oven gives your food a special smoky flavor.
