Great pictures. Looks like a nice time, indeed.

I have to say the fire looks a bit big, no? Is it necessary to have such large logs? I guess it is if there were a few people.

Anyway, lovely pictures.

No, not too big, the scar was about the size of a piece and a half of A4 paper, to bake you need a good bed of embers not quick burning sticks, therefore larger logs are required. Thanks for questioning my ability to cook.
