Said the sand needs to be wet so it doesn’t collapse, makes total sense. But wouldn’t the sand collapse as the fire dries it out?

A buddy showed me this at the beach. It works shockingly well, despite strong winds.

What’s the point though? To hover marshmallows or a glizzy over it??
I’m trying to imagine what i could do with this. Warm up or something??

Please be careful lighting fires on beaches. Especially “stealth” fires, or even just burying a normal campfire to put it out. Here in Australia it is generally encouraged to extinguish your beach fires in a way where you can clearly see a fire was there.
The reason is that sand retains heat for much longer than you might expect and people can suffer extreme burns if they dig their feet into the sand, even if the fire was from the night before.

Yeah this is a huge fine here on the Emerald coast. People do this to hide a fire when it’s prohibited. It also is a hazard to night beach walkers and turtles get stuck/die in holes if not filled back in properly. I’ve never understood the mindset of hole diggers at the beach.

That is very similar to the way I built my back yard firepit. I have two metal pipes buried underground that draw in air from about 6′ away and have openings in some firebrick underneath the fire pit. It is great to have a firepit with almost no smoke and that thing is an incinerator!!
