Its main disadvantage is the large fire that has to be maintained in front of it to keep you warm. Gathering of adequate amounts of fuel is exhausting and stoking the fire frequently during the night disrupts your rest. The amount of fuel used for one night would keep a 12-person teepee with stove warm for a week or more. Another disadvantage is the amount of materials and time required to build a cozy functional shelter.

In conjunction with the re-emitter fire, the simple open-fronted lean-to is one of the more tried and favoured shelters. Both the lean-to and the re-emitter are oriented parallel to the wind. A variance of up to 15 degrees from either angle can be tolerated before you begin to experience problems with smoke. The ridge pole of the shelter is placed about one small pace from the face of the reflector fire when it is very cold, a long pace in moderately cold weather, and two steps away when the temperature is above zero degrees Celsius.
