Best Answer

Start with a good thick bed of ash, and a hot fire. Add logs to the fire. Once they are burning, push them together tightly to restrict airflow. Use a shovel to cover the logs in ash. Next morning, rap the logs to loosen ash, pull logs apart from each other, add kindling, and coals that you "banked" should flame up.
