    You didn't leave enough openings on the sides for air to blow on the charcoal or fire wood.

    Fire need air to burn, and the pit is to deep and no air is going true it from below. And you need wood.
    Next time better luck!!!

    Why not just use the three stone method used by the locals, or if you want it higher, build a raised platform and put the charcoal with the steel mesh. It's not getting enough oxygen the way you are doing it.

    Family you doing fine and adapting well. Proud of you guys. Learn slowly by doing and observing how the others are doing things. Making fire require dry coconut leave or dry grass . Lit it up and than put small dry pieces of woods over the lighted leaves and bigger firewood on top. That should get your fire up and burning. Make a small opening space within the stone barrier to let the slow breeze blowing through to keep your fire burning. The bunch of banana can be left hanging on the tree branch to ripen up. Once ripen up, you can cook them over the fire by gently turning it over the burning coal until cooked or put it in the oven on slow heat until cooked. Once cooked put them outside of the fire until cool down. Peal off the cooked banana skin and eat. Should be very delicious. You need to create a wooden fork or tong to pick food cooked over the fire. Life on the land can give you a lot of satisfaction. Following your experience from Papua New Guinea in the Pacific Ocean. Almighty God lead guide and keep you safe🙏🙏

      @@bktoafrica sorry guy's. Please next time arrange the blocks in a u shape with the opening of the u shape facing the direction of the wind or at least to the side the wimd blows past. This allows air to flow through the charcoal naturally and helps keeps the fire going. But nice try. Always let the smoke burn out of the fire before putting your grid and food on. Use same process of igniting the charcoal and you are good to go.

      You guys are awesome and doing great 😂. Proud of you guys. When you want to light a f ire, pick some little dry sticks .Place some wrapped grass. Light the grass over the sticks. KEEP FANNING .Make sure the sticks get fired up fully. gradually add the smaller charcoal to get lit. Dont stop fanning until your fire 🔥 is getting bigger and then you can add your bigger Charcoal. 😂🎉
