Batch box mass heater.
Left to right paper for riser warming fire, cardboard wich to help flame move from paper to tinder, tinder, kindling, small wood. Paul asked us to burn ugly wood and bark so we'll see how much of the box I can burn in an hour.
The water on the floor is me trying not to set the broom on fire when I sweep the escaped coals back in.

When I opened the door to add more wood some coals fell out.
While working with the boots on some Chop and Drop at Allerton Abbey, I started the batch box to get a feel for it, anticipating staying the night and wanting some practice.
The last bb for pep 1!! Batch boxing... Dez taught me to get all the fire starting materials in place before lighting. His protocol worked like a charm.
