Hi all!
I am struggling with fire-setting in my small kelly kettle. The space to build the fire is about palm sized, and 1.5 inches deep.
Things I'm going to do: get a bigger fire-striker so I can shoot sparks from further away. I feel like the key is learning how to organise a fire for this specific context
What fire lays do you use? Does anyone have a tutorial on lighting these fires specifically?

- You've got to get fuel in there, but also enough of a lattice for air to pass through
- you've got to stand fuel up somehow so it doesn't touch the rim so you can put the kettle on the fire pan
- you've got to not knock whatever you've balanced when blowing on the fire & striking sparks
- you've got to get your burning/smouldering fire-starter under your twigs
- you've then got to feed the fire, but without blocking the air holes or smothering the space.
