DIY Table Fire Made Easy

Creating a tabletop fire can be a simple and quick project, requiring minimal materials and time. This guide outlines the steps to construct your own tabletop fire using common items.

Difficulty and Time

• Difficulty: Easy
• Time Commitment: Approximately 5 minutes

Materials Needed

To build your table fire, gather the following:

• 1 Terracotta pot (outer pot)
• 300 g Sand or gravel
• 1 Tin can (e.g., a clean, empty food can)
• Bioethanol

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your table fire:

1. Prepare the Pot: Place a small amount of sand or gravel at the bottom of the terracotta pot.
2. Insert the Can: Gently pinch the top opening of the tin can to create a narrower, more directed flame. Place this can in the center of the terracotta pot.
3. Fill the Pot: Fill the rest of the terracotta pot with sand or gravel, surrounding the tin can. The choice of filling material (normal sand, fine gravel, coarse gravel for decorative purposes, or white gravel) is a matter of personal preference.
4. Add Bioethanol: Finally, pour the bioethanol into the tin can.

Your DIY table fire is now complete.
