Hi, I'm Dieter from FYRO and today I will show you how to cook on an open fire only with three rocks.

We head out to the forest and collect what we need.

For tinder we can use birch bark or fat wood, and

here we found some fat wood, and I already started cutting it off.

Check out our other video on how to find tinder and firewood even in wet conditions.

Here you see the core, that is fat wood, it looks a bit glassy.

Here we found some birch bark. Let's also collect some of that.

As firewood we collect about six branches like this, they should be dead and dry and

standing upright and not on the ground, so that means they stay dry.

And they also break easily.

We take everything back to the fire site.

We set up three rocks so that we can put the pot in the middle,

and we check with some water that it is really horizontal.

I will now set up the branches in a star-like pattern around the middle. This is where the name "Star Fire" comes from.

Now we put the tinder in the middle and then start the fire.

I will make some shavings of the fat wood. The fine shavings catch the sparks.

Of course you can also just use a lighter.

The tinder quickly catches fire.

So we keep feeding the fire with kindling until the bigger pieces are burning.

I think now we can start cooking.

You can control the heat of a Star Fire almost like a stove.

To reduce the power, pull out the branches and then the fire dies down.

To increase the power again, push the branches back in, and then fan the flames.

Now it's time to enjoy.
