Step 1: Find a  suitable place
Find a suitable place for a fire pit at least 30 feet away from  roads, trees, buildings, cars, tents,  brush, hanging branches, and any other  flammable objects.

Step 2: Dig a  pit
Dig a pit between 3 and 4 feet in  diameter and 6 to 12 inches  deep.

Tip
Keep the pile of displaced  dirt near the pit to extinguish the fire later.

Step 3: Collect large  stones
Collect stones the range from the size of your fist to the size of a  bowling ball. Don't use stones from a  beach or riverbed, since wet rocks can  fracture or explode when heated.

Step  4: Line the pit with stones
Line the  outside edge of the pit with stones. Lay the larger ones down first; then stack  the smaller stones on top of them until  the rocks are about a foot above ground  level.

Step 5: Enjoy your fire
Enjoy  the fire! Before leaving or going to  sleep, extinguish the fire completely by pouring buckets of water over it, and  shoveling the displaced dirt over the  logs. 

Step 6: Clear the area
Fill the  hole and put the stones back to leave  the campsite just as it was when you  found it. 

Did You Know?
On average,  about 65 million Americans 16 and older  go camping each year.
