(Book)

Includes bibliographical references.

In this illustrated book, Oivind Berg traces the use of fire as a heat source, a stove and a social gathering point indoors and outdoors, right up to the present day. He reveals the types of fire, the art of kindling, the characteristics of different woods as fuel, and the secrets of Norwegian live-fire cooking. With this book you can master how to lay and tend a fire, understand why the wood snaps and the flames dance, and harness the creative and destructive power of this most vital element.
