I came across this YouTube video the other day. It shows a fire-lay I'd never seen before, and fancy giving a go. Shared here in case it's of interest to anyone else.

NB on one of his other videos he makes a far smaller version; this one is pretty big, but looks (to me at least) to be appropriate to the particular conditions in this video.

(About 7 & a half mins long, & you can skip over some)

Being Siberia on a tropical day, I suggest the fire set is Larch (Larix sp.), the common conifer in the Russian Far East.
The heat goes in one direction and fed from the back. Very sensible idea. I could see enough sooty smoke to think they were green trees
meaning the the fire is really hot but should last a good long time.

We have 18,000,000 ha standing dead pine in BC for you to experiment with. Thanks for the video link.
