How to make and cook on a redneck / Swedish torch

Select a large log, approximately 3-4 feet long.

Cut vertical slits into the log, about 2/3 of the way down, spaced evenly apart.

Place kindling and firestarter in the center of the log.

Light the firestarter with matches.

Allow the fire to catch and burn down through the log.

If desired, sprinkle herbs or spices on the burning log for added aroma.

Optionally, place a cooking grate on top for grilling.

Monitor the fire, adding more kindling as needed to maintain the flame.

Enjoy the warmth and ambiance of the Swedish torch.
