Flying sparks come from a small explosion of gases when soft wood, for instance spruce, is burning.
To avoid the damages of flying sparks – use dry hard wood as birch, hickory, ash and dogwood when making an open fire in the Nordic tipi.
Always make the fire small without flames. Watch over it and enjoy your cosy home from home.
