All I kept saying is ‘awww so young’ but couldn’t help but smiling though.
You’re very persistent in no time you’ll be experts at all things ‘Country Style Living’
Very proud of your achievements, well done.
You’re leading the way for others to come.
Thank you family for you kind words🙏🏾❤️we appreciate this very much!
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.
Thanks for the tip !
Your videos never escape me , I watch them to last word and image.
Amazing how a family from one of the most advance and most organised society on earth can move away from all that to create a completely different lifestyle. Hats off for these new leaders 🎩🎩 🎉
But it's not your developed country go and build your own take the red out your eye from other people stuff
This means so much to us, you are so kind. Thank you❤️🙏🏾
@@bktoafrica yay I'm so glad for your reply
You didn't leave enough openings on the sides for air to blow on the charcoal or fire wood.
I have difficulty starting fires in Jamaica 🇯🇲 too, bbq 🍗 is full with the family, enjoy Africa/Jamaica 🇯🇲🤩❤️
It’s really not as easy as we thought lol!❤️
You guys look so cute together. You will eventually get it right. Don't give up
Aw thank you so much🥰❤️we will keep pushing!
You need small twigs initially as well, paper abd grass burn too fast. Once they caught fire you build on them with slightly large wood and you continue on like that
These are some of the most beautiful videos anyone could watch , they are so soothing 😂
Content free video 😂
It's a slow grind bro...stay with it!! We all rooting for y'all...preparing to get there too! ❤️🖤💚💛
Thank you for the support🙏🏾we will for sure stay with it. Today we try again lol!
@@bktoafrica 💯
@@bktoafrica yeah here hoping to see you win too. Hold tight fam.
Greetings, first of all clear the area of the grass. You do not want the grass to catch fire and burn around that area.
Thank you for the tip!
😂😂😂😂
😂🤦🏾♀️
Yea small pieces of dried sticks and leaves first. Also raise the bottom of the pit. The bricks around the sides is too high. You’ll perfect it in no time
Thanks for sharing! We will give it a try
Next time leave the flame burn itself do not touch or rusht patience you was almost there
Noted! Thank you😅
LOL I'll help you out there has to be a way under the 🔥 for air to get in so put a level between the ground and and the fire it's like a science fire cannot survive without oxygen
Lol. Get some of the local people to help you start the fire. That's the best way to learn, otherwise it can take days before you'll know how to do it yourself. It can be very tedious especially with coal.
Thanks for the tips!
Aww guy nice try at making a fire next time use some dry woods,I mean small dry branches along with dry leaves., when that started blaze then add coal, that works effective.
Thanks for the advice 🙏🏾❤️
Hi guys it’s easier to make the fire if you put the paper on the bottom and put the charcoal on top and then like the paper underneath the bottom that’s how we start fire in Jamaica
👍🏾thanks for the tip
You guys are awesome 🙏🏾😊
Thank you so much🙏🏾❤️
It’s easy and very easy. You were all not doing it the right way. As time goes by, you will learn
You’re correct bro. When my brothers from the community came to show me how they do it I realised just how easy it is 😂
@@bktoafrica good
I initially thought you planted a tree or something and wanted to protect it 🙉🙈
Nope just my embers 😂😂
Respect to you and your journey ❤, Fire needs 3 elements Oxygen, Heat and fuel anyone of them taken away it will take time to grow.
Thank you for the tips🙏🏾❤️
Blessings to you all, you need air flow
Thanks fam, we finally cracked the code. We’ve been cooking outdoors ever since. We need to film a new video showing the progress 😂😂
Will you get chickens like a chicken coop it good to have your animals that can provide food and joy you have such a big land imagine the possibilities of what you can do with it
Yes for sure we were looking into it this week!
Rooting for you guys. Inspirational! Keep pushing! So beautiful 🇬🇭💝
Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot to us🖤🙏🏾
Hi your building technique was all wrong for the start. The fire area should be open at the so it can draw in air to fuel the fire. Next time you build a fire pit don't close the bottom unless you won't to kill the fire.
keep pushin fam…the west got us so locked up n stocked up that we done lost the art of catching a fire…fada help us 😂
🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️facts
Nothing like peace welcome back home bor ❤❤❤❤❤
Nothing like it at all😍APTTMH
i use plastic to light charcoal
Thanks for the advice
U need dry wood branches to assist the fire keep burning
Thanks for the tip!
It's actually simple start with a lot of dry wood and let the air flow in and out, fire needs wind to b 4:29 urn, just build a proper braai area my brother you have the bricks and cemet
Thank you for the suggestions family🙏🏾🖤
I'm sorry but you guys got me cracking up ...don't let it get you down keep at it you're gonna master it ...watching from Barbados.....
Glad you enjoyed it😂😂lol&thanks for the support family🙏🏾🖤

Will do🙏🏾
😂 I can’t even see smoke, what’s being fanned
🤣
I really respect u guys
Thank you family 🙏🏾🖤
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🙏🙏
Thank you so much for the abundance of advice and support🙏🏾❤️we will definitely try the wood next time. Can’t wait to have plantain off the fire😍!
APTTMH🙏🏾
@@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.
Next time use a dried sand to get the direction of the wind, remove a piece of the bricks to that direction and you wouldn’t have to fan the fire.
Great advice, thank you 🙏🏾
😂😂😂
I still have problems nd have to use a lubricant to get a fire 🔥 started after using multiple match
There’s definitely a technique to it!😅it looks much easier watching it on videos lol
Everything takes time to learn. Don't worry you will be a pro soon. Next time start the fire with some wood first, then add the charcoal once the fire is going strong. Then remove the unburned wood, blessings
Thank you for the advice! We will definitely do this next time🙏🏾blissings to you family!
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. 😂🎉
Hi you are surpose to use log of wood to start the fire or coal nice try😊
Thank you, We will give this a go next time!
I envy you guys, but i am coming. Yestetday its like i was been tortured, the pollen was high and my god, i felt like running, winter it dark and you depressed spring you suffer with hayfever, only medication is leaving for cleaner air and better lifestyle.
As someone who suffered from hayfever I understand how you feel! We Hope to have you here on the continent very soon!❤️
🤎🖤🤎
