Easy - get something flammable (i.e.paper...or if in the wild, coconut husks torn into strips). Have some larger twigs available. Use the magnifying glass to catch the sun's rays, concentrate the rays into a small bright spotand over the tinder. When it lights, put the larger twigs on it and fan like hell....once it takes off, put in larger and larger pieces of wood till you get a roaring flame.

Try doing flame tests; adding certain compounds to fire make really awesome colors; it's kind of like putting on your own fireworks show.  Check out http://webmineral.com/help/FlameTest.shtml

If you're asking if you can buy (or build) systems to fire your fireworks electrically, then the answer is yes. You can get either wired or wireless systems that can fire either electric matches (tiny chips coated with compound that burst into flame when electricity is run through them) or wrapped wire (basically, nichrome wire wrapped around the firework's fuse).\n\nBelow are some links that should be helpful :

Nothing...unless you light a match, then...BOOM!  In the case of Oxygen and Hydrogen, you'll get pure water afterwards...that should put out the fire you just started :)\n(Not really)

I agree with Demonus H - pine often burns smoky and it could send off sparks.\n\nYou want standing dead wood, if possible, which has the most potential for burning dry.\n\nYou want hard wood, like maple, oak, hickory that burns for a long time.\n\nUse softer woods for fire-starting - willow, tulip tree poplar are good for that.\n\nWhen you get your fire going - find a live pine tree, take a handful of needles and make pine needle tea - Yum!  \n\nRecipe is at link below:

You will first have to contact your municipality and see if they allow outdoor "recreation" fires. We built one in our back yard and used redbrick to do it. Dig a pit aprox 1 to 1&1/2 feet deep, and as wide as you need it. Level out bottom. Line with redbrick. Leave sides earthen. You have to remember to not stack the bricks around the top, this will prevent air flow.If you want a finished look for the top use one layer of bricks turned on their side so the holes in the bricks let the fire get air. If you just want an outdoor fire ring that you can cook on look on Gander Mountain's website. You will need to order a catolog, it's free. They sell fire rings that are somewhat inexpensive and you can put your cooking racks right on top to cook. We have both and use the ring more than the pit it's easier and can be taken inside over he winter. I hope this helps you out. Good Luck!!!\nhttp://www.gandermountain.com

Red, orange and yellow felt squares from the craft store can fairly easily be cut into triangles, and then glued or tacked (with stitches) onto any old pair of jeans or sweats...This will look like flames.\nYou could do a similar effect with crepe paper (perhaps birthday party streamers?).

In a fireplace or outside?  Outside, gas usually get things moving quickly, although, if the wood is wet, gasoline doesn't do much.  When I have started bonfires outside with wet wood, I've made a big pile of wood and put one duraflame log on each side of the pile.  That helped to get things going and the duraflame logs burn long enough to really keep things going.\n\nIn a fire place, you really need to start with small kindling, like pine cones, small dry twigs, medium sized dry sticks, and then let that catch on.  Put large pieces of wood around it, but not big logs.  You have to start small and build up around that.\n\nOther things that work good to get a fire started, you can roll up newspaper, soak it in molten candle wax, then let it dry.  That works out as a good, solid way to get the fire going.  They also sell things in WalMart and places like that that are like Duraflame logs, only much smaller.  Its really just sawdust soaked with wax.  It gets a fire started pretty good too.

oooo this is really fun\nget a match or lighter, and some hairspray (or other flammable spray)  light the match/lighter and spay the hairspray/other liquid toward the flame.  the flame will flare off.\nanother great way is to light a candle (the tall kind).  then turn around and put your rear end behind the candle and fart.  the gas in farts are flammable.  another way is to hold the lighter/match to your butt and fart.\nhope i helped you\nbye

have a resivoir for the alcohol, have a wick that will pull the alcohol up, keep other flammables away from the flame source, have a fire extinguisher ready, don't drink the isopropyl alcohol.  Use the tip of the blue portion of the flame for heat.

Alcohol has a low flash point and burns with a near invisible flame.  It would be easy to start an uncontrolled flame that would be difficult to see.  All of which could lead to disasterous results.

OH CAN IT EVER. It's call blue-flaming or torqing. You lay on you back and throw your legs back over your head as far as you can. Hold a lighter (not a match) near the butt-opening. If you get too close you create some risk. Build up a doozy and let 'er rip while the lighter is going. You have to exhaust the whole thing, or else you risk bringing some of the fire back inside of you while your butt-opening is still, well, open. So push it all out. Some of the flames can get huge. Just watch out for the "banana torq". It wraps around and burns bad things.

Fire requires fuel, heat, and energy to exist so as long as it gets started with enough heat (ie: match friction), and has enough to burn (wood, fuels), and oxygen as another source of fuel, it will burn.

There are way to many planners on how to run a camp fire. I learned from one of the best in our area. It's really simple. Opening, middle, closing. \n\nOpening: find an interesting way to light the fire. The flaming arrow always seems to be a fun way, but there are many others. From there, jump right into your program.\nMiddle: Mix things up. Don't do all songs, then all skits. This is the only part you really need to plan, just so you can keep track of who is done something and who hasn't, make sure everyone turns in  a list of what they want to do, so you don;t get any doubles. Make sure your leaders are involved as well. The younger ones love to make fun of those in charge on occasion. \nClosing: Keep in mind when your end is nearing. Usually try to put a slower, more relaxing song or skit toward the end. Have a "Scoutmaster Minute". We enjoy doing a flag retirement at the end of our campfires. \nThe best wat to remember how to plana camp fire is by the way the fire works. Start small. Fun in the middle. Fire burning down at the end. Never fails

You don't.  You use a Dutch oven.  First, dig a pit about twice the size of your oven and twice as deep.  Line it with good stone or brick - firebrick if you plan on doing this with any frequency.  Then build a fire in your pit using well-seasoned hardwood like oak, walnut, cherry or pecan.  When you have a good heap of coals, scoop out all but about an inch of coals and place your Dutch oven with the turkey inside in the pit.  Shovel coals back inside, around the Dutch oven, which of course should have the lid on.  Then place a cover over the pit, which will not rest directly on the Dutch oven lid.  Cover that with a layer of dirt to seal the whole thing.  Then go do other things for about five hours.  Come back, carefully uncover the cooking pit, lift out the Dutch oven and check to see whether the turkey is done.  It should, if you've done all that I told you to, be done to perfection.  But ya know what - I had to experiment a couple times before I got it right, so if this is your first time, be sure you have a "plan B" if the turkey has to go back in the Dutch oven and back into the pit for awhile longer.  Heh - my "plan B" was to serve dessert first!  Hey, it worked...just don't forget to make sure there're still plenty of hot coals if it does have to go back in the pit a bit longer...and let it sit another hour before checking again.  Good luck!

Wow.  There are only several thousand recipes.  You can do this over a camp fire, on the stove, in a steamer or crockpot.  Either just throw in what you like or, if you are one of those "by the book" people use one of the sites below to find a recipe:

Get a bottle cap. Put candle wax in it. Burn the bottom of the cap until wax melts. Wax will start to set on fire after while.\n\nPut a drop of water on it.\n\nBurn yourself.
