Thanks guys. You're right @Ingrid 51 some people do their fire over the hole and go through all that effort of clearing the hole and double handling the stones etc. it works, and as the old saying goes, "there are more ways than one to skin a cat".
This is the way I've been brought up on, my grandfather to my father and now to my brothers and I. There's no right or wrong way provided the food is cook and doesn't taste like diesel as well i guess. We do our fire close enough to the hole and upwind from the hole that the embers dont go in, but the heat of the fire dries the hole enough on a winters day.

YOu also want to be sure you have a good clay layer! no sand, that'll sap the heat out of your stones and irons.
