  • Patent number: 8327834
    Abstract: A campfire smokestack comprising an elongated metal tube whose lower end is anchored in a fire pit, for example by burying it in the ground, prior to making a fire, or by placing it into an existing fire. The tube has an open upper end, and its sidewall is perforated over some portion of its length with draft openings, at least some of which are at campfire height such that the fire is built against or adjacent these lower draft openings to permit radial drafting of air directly through the fire into the tube. The fire is accordingly built and burned around or against the lower end of the tube, rather than within or underneath the tube. The smokestack may be used with both natural and manmade fire pits.
