There is a whole art to enjoying an outdoor fire in our little fire pit. It has to be cold outside, but not too cold, and my wife is always the master of ceremonies. I generally stay pretty far away as I am not fond of the smoke. The morning after the fire, I was amazed at how perfectly shaped this log was. It is a multi-fire log, and we keep it on a piece of slate between burns. I liked the geometry and texture on this one.
