Building a Log Cabin fire

So, realizing all this talk about food might make some people hungry, we need to go back to the basics for a few minutes. Some of you (no finger pointing) may not know how to build the Log cabin style fire we keep talking about. So:
Here's the basics:
Your big logs lay cross-wise in the old Lincoln log style.In the middle goes your kindling and smaller wood pieces (starter log if you are cheating - these are not always recommended for cooking so check the label!). What is in the middle will burn to hot coals and can be replaced as needed. Place pots on the middle, use a grate on top, or slide dinner wrapped in foil into the coals from the outside edges.
Remember, it does not have to be very tall to still be effective.
