Which wood is good for campfires?

For a long-lasting and cozy campfire, you should use dry, untreated wood. Hardwoods like beech, oak, or birch burn longer and develop a nice ember bed. Softwoods like spruce or pine ignite quickly but also burn faster and can cause more sparks.

Why you should use dry wood:

Better combustibility: Dry wood catches fire faster and burns more intensely.
Less smoke: Wet wood produces more smoke and soot.
Fewer sparks: Dry wood throws off fewer sparks.

What you should definitely avoid:

Treated wood: Wood treated with paints, varnishes, or other chemicals should never be burned in the fire. The fumes can be harmful to your health.
Construction site scrap wood: Scrap wood from construction sites is often contaminated with pollutants and should not be burned.

What does a tripod do?

A Cooking Tripod is an essential tool for any campfire. It is used to hang cookware such as pots, kettles, or grill grates securely over the fire. The advantages of a Cooking Tripod are clear:

Flexibility: You can adjust the height of the cookware as needed.
Stability: A well-designed Cooking Tripod provides a stable stand for your cooking pots.
Versatility: You can use different types of cookware, from small pots to large kettles.

What is a reflector oven?

A reflector oven is a handy tool for all campfire fans that takes your outdoor kitchen to the next level. Imagine you have a cozy campfire and want to try more culinary options beyond the classic grilling. That’s exactly what the reflector oven is for!

How does it work?

Indirect heat: Unlike direct grilling over an open flame, the reflector oven uses indirect heat. It’s placed a bit away from the fire and catches the warmth.
Heat reflection: The special design of the oven reflects and stores the heat inside. This allows for gentle and even cooking.
Versatility: You can prepare a wide variety of dishes in the reflector oven, from bread and cakes to casseroles and roasts.

Advantages of the reflector oven:

Even cooking: Thanks to the indirect heat, your food cooks more evenly and won’t burn as quickly.
Versatility: You can both bake and roast.
Quick preparation: The reflector oven makes optimal use of the fire’s existing heat, so you don’t have to wait long for your food to be ready.
Rich flavor: Cooking in the reflector oven gives your dishes a special smoky taste.
