Ah yes. Ground fire . . . which in English is a "camp fire" or "campfire" both being correct as English grammar comes from several languages. It is also called by a name, more of a technical phrase, which betrays the German roots of English, especially as spoken in techno America -- "open-pit barbeque". Of course in German it would be one word "Openpitbarbeque", and perhaps split into two variations Largeopenpitbarbeque and Smallopenpitbarbeque. Barbeque itself adopted from the word "barbacòa" used by the Arawaken natives of the Carribean island Hispaniola where Columbus landed. Barbacòa was a method of erecting a frame of wooden sticks over a fire in order to dry meat. .
