Fire Workshop
Everything to do with fire – from lighting it to cooking!
Lighting a fire: from Stone Age and medieval techniques to high-tech methods
Firewood: distinguishing between different types of wood, finding dry wood, preparing it
Fire pits: types and techniques
Stoves: from wood-burning to gasoline stoves, learn about many different models
Cooking directly over the fire
Cooking on clay, steel, aluminum: various fire cooking options, types of pots, for on the go and at home
Cooking tools: which tools are useful
Safety instructions: for wood, gas, and gasoline stoves
Service: how to keep my stoves and pans in good condition, from cleaning to seasoning steel pans
... and much more, depending on the participants' prior knowledge and wishes.
After more than 25 years of experience with fire, outdoor cooking, and wood gas stoves I developed myself, I would like to devote a whole day to this topic. A variety of stoves and cooking systems, with an emphasis on wood stoves, will be demonstrated and can be tried out.
This will help you to implement better and new insights on the go and at home.
After this course, you may want to buy something, make your own cooking tools, or even weld a mobile outdoor kitchen. There is plenty of inspiration.
If there is time, more topics can be covered.
Please bring your own food.
