A Swedish torch is a special type of outdoor fire that can be used for cooking or providing warmth. It's made by cutting a log of wood into sections and then lighting the center of the log on fire. When the fire burns through the center, air is able to flow through the cut pieces of wood, making the fire burn hotter and more efficiently. Think of it like a hollowed out tree stump with fire in the middle. It's a fun and unique way to enjoy the outdoors!
