How to Add the Base to a Fire Pit

All right, now that we've got our base laid down of shredded paper and dried grass, we want to go ahead and select some logs. And these ones that I have selected are about 20-24 inches tall. And what we want to do is, we want to position those depending on which way the wind is blowing, for us it's coming out of the west right now. But you want to position it, for us we're going to do it on the north and south side, and we're going to take these size logs again, 20-24 inches, you might have something bigger or smaller. And we are just going to put them parallel to each other. Kind of a little bit on top of the shredded paper and the grass, but keeping most of that towards the middle. Because what our goal here is, is to take smaller twigs and we're going to build across this so that the fire is going to take off quicker, and become a nicer fire, get hotter faster and burn our bigger logs at a faster rate.
