CONSTRUCTION DETAILS 



COOKING STANDARD FOR 

 CAMPFIRE USE 



This cooking standard may be used either 

 as a single standard (pi. XX, figs. 5 and 6) or 

 as a double standard (pi. XXII A, iigs. 1 and 

 2). It is a simple unit of use primarily on picnic 

 areas, and especially adapted for use by 

 hunters and fishermen. 



In this unit, facilities are provided for 

 broiling on a grate, and for cooking otherwise 

 on a plate or grate. Kettles may be hung on 

 the hooks shown in figure 2. 



This unit is generally installed with a small 

 campfire circle. The provision for raising or 

 lowering the irons on which the cooking is 

 done, is shown in the details under figure 1. 



The idea of the double standard shown in 

 figure 2 originated in region 1 of the Forest 

 Service. 



CAST IRON AND SHEET IRON, 

 STOVE DETAILS 



The important requirements to be fulfilled in 

 the design for the door on the front of the 

 firebox are as follows: 



(a) To construct the door oi a quality of iron which 

 will prevent the door Irom warping when exposed 

 to heat. 



(b) To make provisions .to that the door may be securely 

 closed. 



(c) To provide a draft opening in the door. 



(d) To provide hinges so that the door will remain 

 hanging in its correct position. 



The draft in the door as shown in figures 3, 4, 

 and 5 may be through an opening which is con- 

 stant (as in fig. 3), or it may be through holes, 

 the area of which may be increased or 

 decreased by a revolving lid (as in fig. 4), or 

 by a shding damper (as in fig. 5). If the type 

 of draft opening shown in figure 3 is used, it 

 seems advisable to install, in addition, a damper 

 in the chimney to properly control the draft. 

 The damper in the chimney is not generally 

 required when there is provision for opening 

 and closing the front draft as shown in figures 

 4 and 5. 



Four methods of hinging the door at the front 

 of the firebox are shown in figures 3, 4, 5, and 6. 

 The method of attaching the doors with hinges 

 as shown in figure 5 is the least desirable, and 

 the methods shown in figures 3 and 4 are the 

 most desirable. The kind of hinge shown in 

 figure 5 does not always hold the door solidly 

 in place. 



Doors are also hinged at the top and at the 

 bottom. The hinging of doors at the bottom 

 should be discouraged, and the hinging of 

 doors at the top does not seem to be as practical 

 in actual use as hinging the doors on the side.
