With over 60 entries packed into its pages, this book covers everything from picking the right wood to stacking it just right. You’ll learn how to chop, split, and store firewood so it’s dry and ready when you need it.

This isn’t just a guidebook—it’s an ode to the simple power of flame. It honors the small rituals that come with tending a fire: the sound of kindling crackling, the way smoke curls through the trees, the warmth that cuts through a cold night. The book itself is built to reflect that, with a textured spine that feels like a matchbook striker and a design that makes it as good to hold as it is to read.
