Fire on the Ice.....

What happens here

Carefully ignite the constructed brush pile. A propane torch is an effective tool for this, especially when branches are cold or slightly damp. Direct the flame into the core of the pile, targeting smaller, drier branches and leaves to help the fire establish quickly. As the fire starts, ensure it catches properly before moving away. Having multiple people to tend the fire as it begins can help it grow faster.

Goal: Safely start the bonfire.
