I have done this a few times while on hunting trips in cold wet weather. It allows the fire to burn continually. Even during wet periods the fire will always be lit.
Only thing I have found is that it tends to be more smokey than a normal stacked fire that you allow to burn free and feed. Once the surface of the log gets going the flames will die off to a lower flame than a stacked free fed fire.
Just a reminder,, This will burn constantly,,for the entire length of the pile on both sides and smoke constantly as it pre heats the next log.
Hope your neighbors don't mind smoke 24 hours at a time!!
