    The lean-to fire is the best way. Eventually all fires just end up being a mass of coals and stick anyhow. the teepee fire is the hardest cause the top of the sticks burn off and then it all just falls down and tends to go out or if your lucky you end up with a messy lean-to fire again. The lean-to can also sheild or otherwise direct wind to or away from your fire which is another advantage.
