Thought I would have a go but as I only have ordinary drill bits its on a small scale

I used a teaspoonful of gel fuel to get it going and it worked well

The face did not last very long but it was only a slice of a log.
Got me a cup of tea mind!

Think I will get one of those scotch eyed things!

Was a sliver birch, shop brought, 8mm drill bit holes,

If I can get a long, long drill bit will drop a hole from top to bottom. Once the face had gone an the tea was made I was left with 3 fingers unburnt. Turned it upside down and it burnt well for a while. If there had been a hole, up to the top it would have been fine to cook a stew on I would think
