Alright, now that we got ourselves a nice campfire going, a nice bonfire. The most important thing that you have done that and accomplished this, is to sit back and enjoy your beautiful fire and what you want to think about when you?re actually sitting here and enjoying the fire is how close you want to be, how far back. Well it's going to depending obviously on the size of the fire. The bigger the fire, the hotter the flame. It also depends on the dryness of the wood. Some wood burns hotter than others do, depending on if it's drier or damper and if you have rocks around the fire like these. Sometimes these can heat up and you can kick off your shoes and even put your feet on there, but always be a little bit cautious. Keep an eye on the wind; the wind direction can always change. So you want to be back far enough to where you can feel the heat and not breathe in the smoke and keep all the safety things at hand, pair of gloves, your water bucket, and your fire extinguisher and enjoy yourself.
