ing the handle of the fry pan upon the 
log, thus saving the fingers from a 
scorching. 
Stone Fire Range (Fig. 1), is com- 
pleting the stone range by adding a 
flat stone to the top and building a 
laid-up stone chimney. 
Indian Fire (Fig. 2). The logs are 
laid in a circle with one end coming to 
a common center where the fire is 
started and as it burns the 
further or outside ends are 
shoved forward thus saving 
the task of cutting fuel. 
Raised Laid-Up Stone 
Fireplace With Crane and 
Grate (Fig. 1), is an ideal 
of outdoor luxury and only 
permissible in very perma- 
nent camps. The floor of 
the fire place is raised to 
stove height, i. e., about 28 
inches, with the outside of 
stone and center filled with 
dirt or sand. An iron camp 
grate covers the top, the 
stone chimney carries the 
smoke away and the crane 
extending across completes 
an outdoor fireplace that 
will remain long in the 
memory of all who have 
used them. 
Teepee’. (Fig. 2), is a 
quick fire to build, the 
sticks are stood on end— 
should not be over an inch 
in diameter in starting— 
their tops coming to a com- 
mon center, leaving plenty 
of air space between and 
when touched off will be- 
come a miniature blast 
furnace in a few seconds. A 
splendid way to start any 
fire. 
Folding Grate (Fig. 2), an iron camp 
grate with separate legs having a 
curve or slot at the top in which the 
grate rests, that can be easily driven 
into the ground without damage to the 
grate itself. 
Camp Fire (Fig. 2), back and ground 
logs of about five foot green logs, on 
which the fire is built. As the bottom 
log burns down and drops out, a fresh 
log is placed on top of the others which 
slide down in turn. The high back

throws the heat deep into a tent. Such 
a fire built with the back against an 
upstanding rock is perfect, for the rock 
will radiate heat when the fire itself 
is but a bed of coals. 
Folding Stove and Oven (Fig. 2), is 
a combination of camp grate having 
back and two sides, with a reflector 
baker that hangs to the back. This is 
a good all around wood burning camp

stove, but is somewhat heavy, as sold, 
and can be greatly reduced in weight 
if you build your own and substitute 
the ordinary baker. 
Hole in the Ground (Fig. 2), is the 
way to bake beans when sunk below 
the ashes of the camp fire. Line the 
hole, bottom and sides with ashes—the 
best non-conductors of heat—held in 
place by a lining of stone, then fill the 
bottom with hot stone, a layer of cold, 
your vessel, more hot stone, a layer of

cold, covered by a blanket of ashes and 
green grass topped by a flat rock to 
cover the hole. 
Barrel Oven (Fig. 2), is a nail keg 
or barrel—set in a clay bank, on the 
side of which next to the closed end is 
a six inch square “cutout” on which a 
chimney is built. After the barrel has 
been covered, a fire is built inside, the 
barrel is burnt out and a clay oven is 
the result. To make an 
oven of this type, cut the 
keg in half, lengthwise, to 
within eight inches of the 
closed, or chimney end. 
Take two pieces of sheet 
iron, one the length of the 
cut and four inches wider 
than the widest part of the 
keg, and the other an inch 
higher than the half cut, 
made down just back of the 
chimney hole to meet the 
lengthwise cut, set the 
lower half of the keg (hav- 
ing the chimney) at the 
closed end, lay your largest 
sheet of iron to form a 
shelf the length of the keg, 
set the smaller piece of iron 
on its edge just back of the 
chimney piece and against 
it, lay the upper half of the 
keg in place and after 
covering with mud, burn 
out above and below the 
iron shelf. You then have 
a perfect oven with the 
shelf extending its depth 
and the chimney closed 
from it at the far end. 
Camp Refrigerator (Fig. 
2), is simply a box within 
a box, the inner covered 
with tin, each having a lid, 
the outer box being punched 
with holes bored on its sides, and in the 
center of the top of which is set the 
larger or “horn” end of a funnel. When 
closed you can either place the box in 
shallow running water or have the 
water run down from the top thru the 
funnel, around and over the inner box, 
which, by the way, has shelving to fit 
the taste and needs. 
Just a few hints. When you build 
your fire or outdoor stove, try to place
