Fire Planner

Plan the cook before lighting the fire.

Fire Planner is the Henges compendium of practical outdoor cooking tools. It helps account for the natural variables that shape a cook — weather, location, altitude, wind speed and wind direction — including where smoke is likely to travel once the fire is lit.

Over time it will cover woods, charcoal, fuel quantities, meat choices, ancestral recipes and seasonal planning, so decisions can be made before fuel is lit.
