The traditional Finnish rakovalkea (literally "slit bonfire") is produced by placing a long piece of firewood on top of another, parallel and reinforcing in place with four sturdy posts driven into the ground. (Traditionally, all logs are not used for splitting firewood.) Turn and tinder are placed between the logs in sufficient quantity (while avoiding the extremes), to increase the upper register and allow ventilation. The lighter is always at the center of strengthening the positions do not burn prematurely. rakovalkea the two outstanding characteristics. First, it burns slowly but surely, when lit, it does not require arduous maintenance, but burns for a very long time. rakovalkea A well-constructed of two sections of a thickness of two meters in length can warm two canopy shelter of a change of sleeping together. The construction causes the logs themselves for protection against wind, fire. Thus, exposure to smoke is unlikely for the sleepers, but there is always someone who looks an emergency. Secondly, it can be easily reduced to a size larger (for a party), limited only by the length of available records.
- A fire-hole is made in a keyhole-shaped ring of fire, and is used in cooking. The larger area is used to light the fire to make charcoal. The coal is growing, are scraped into the rectangular area used for cooking.
- A top "light" the fire is built like a log cabin or pyre, but instead of turning on the bait and being placed within the cabin, is located in a teepee on top. The tepee is illuminated by small top, and coal may fall into the wooden hut. These fires are often built by young pool for "council fire" or ceremonial fires. They burn very predictably, and with little 'practice of a manufacturer can assess how long it will last. They also do not throw away a lot of heat, which is not necessary for a fire ceremony. The fire burns down, the layer of coal combustion and heels ignighting the next layer down.
