Pitch
By roasting the firewood for the next cooking fire on the stove after cooking a meal less wood should be required and less GHG produced.
Description
Summary
A procedure should be published where the wood for the next cooking fire can be dried on the remains of the last fire. Obviously care must be taken to avoid catching the wood on fire. A device that holds the wood on it's end and separates individual sticks to improve air flow would improve the results. Bundling the sticks loosely with a few pieces of perforated metal pipe and placing the bundle on a grill of some sort will improve the flow of warm air through the wood.
