My family has been burning hollow logs, "Chimneys", since I was camping as a kid in northern Wisconsin. We are always on the lookout for hollow logs for our campfires, and now many campgrounds save them for us to buy and burn. They burn for hours and is also a great way to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. They have become so popular that Amazon has started to sell "man made" hollow logs by drilling them out and adding kindling to the center to enjoy as a stand-alone fire for beaches and backyards.
Watch as I show you the best way to build a base and keep the flames shooting out of the top for hours! Please send me your comments and tell me how you first heard of this campfire trick, how you prefer to burn them, or if you have any questions or suggestions. I look forward to hearing from you!
