Raise the two sides until inner angle reaches 90 degrees. Leave a clay/dirt layer around the base of the upright frame for insulation.

5. Load up with other logs for fuel. Leave gap of about an inch between the first two logs which allows uniform ignition and access to set tinder beneath the space between logs.
