These fires burn very hot and clean, and are easy to cook over, as a simple grate can be constructed by laying green sticks (green to prevent burning) over the top of the main pit in a lattice pattern. The flames should stay down in the hole, and the minimal smoke keeps food tasting clean. The limited smoke and hidden flames help this fire go unnoticed, making it very popular in military and prepper circles.

Eagle’s Nest

An Eagle’s Nest is not so much a fire lay as a preparatory measure. An eagle’s nest looks much like a smaller bird’s twig nest, but on a truly massive scale. The goal here is to shoot for something in between: stack a ring of wet sticks and branches around the fire, far enough off to not steam the fire to death, but close enough to dry out. This way, when a new stick is needed to feed the fire, a preheated and pre-dried piece can be pulled from the throng and tossed straight in. It can be used to ring any of the first three fire lays, but would not be very effective when used around the Dakota Fire Hole, as the heat doesn’t radiate out laterally from that lay.
