This fire consists of afoundation framework of large logs laid side by side to form a solidbase. A slightly shorter log is laid perpendicular and on top of thisfirst layer. Each subsequent layer is slightly shorter as the platformor pyramid rises. This solid mass of right angle firewood takes alittle effort to light but it's well worth it for the huge amount ofcoals it produces, especially when the fire is lit on the top mostlayer and burns down through the layers.

A lighter version of the Pyramid fire is the platform. It'ssimilar in shape to the pyramid fire except the logs are layered onlyalong the outside edge (like walls on a log cabin) with each level oflogs slightly shorter than the ones beneath. This creates a hollowwood platform into which smaller kindling can be placed and ignited. Itcan provide quick warmth and be the start of any number of largerblazes.
