Swedish Flame

What a great idea, took me 81 years to find out about it .... did a lot of camping in my younger days, with the family, would have liked to have know about this then ..............

The Swedish Flame, also known as a Canadian Candle, is a great way to set up a fire as it uses only one log, has a flat cooking surface and is self feeding, meaning it can burn for several hours without any attention.

Cut the log into wedges, leaving about 6 inches at the base.

Add a cap full of lamp oil or some tinder to the center.
