The Dakota Fire Hole is a highly efficient, wind resistant method of creating a hard to see, but super hot fire.

While you would not want this type of fire to heat yourself, it is ideal for cooking; check out the video and see why.

In a survival situation, if you needed a fire to cook or the conditions were super windy, a Dakota Fire Hole is one alternative that provides both, using less wood and heating quicker and hotter.

I thought about adding a grate to the top of the fire hole, which would prevent the pot from slipping down as the wood burned.
