How to Build a Bonfire Fire Pit Base

Video Transcript

Ok, let's get started building the base of our fire. And this is the most important part. What we're going to use is we're going to use the combination of a couple of things. We're going to use the shredded paper and we're also going to use the grass. What we like to do is lay down a nice flat layer of shredded paper on the ground, about how big you want your fire to be. And don't worry about this stuff that gets out on the edges because you can throw that in later and burn it later. So, we get our self a nice spread of shredded paper and we lay that down, and that's going to form our base. And then what we want to do is we want to take just a little bit our grass, our dried grass, and we want to kind of throw that on top of the shredded paper. So obviously this stuff is going to catch fire first and then when we put our other pieces of wood and twigs on top of that, that's going to catch from the bottom up, and this is a really good base to get your fire started, as you will see.
