The Swedish torch, originally invented by the Finns, gained popularity across Europe in the 1600s. Unlike a traditional campfire, it’s more compact, allowing multiple small heat sources to be spread across an area as needed.

Proof that awesome inventions don’t need batteries, solar panels or PCBs, and actually don’t have anything to do with Bitcoin.

Why is it called swedish torch if finns invented it ?


Because the Finn who created it didn't want to seem like a showoff so he let the Swedes take the credit.


The term "Swedish torch" likely arose due to historical associations and regional proximity rather than direct attribution to its origins. Although the torch or log stove concept is believed to have Finnish origins, it spread across Scandinavia and Northern Europe, including Sweden, where it gained considerable popularity and was widely adopted. Swedish soldiers in the Thirty Years' War are often credited with popularizing this technique across Europe, as they reportedly used it for warmth and cooking during campaigns. The widespread use of the torch by Swedish soldiers may have led to the association of the name "Swedish torch."


Do you bring the log with you on a hike or do you just randomly stumble upon it?


Okay interesting, I need to try out this. thanks for the answer.


Kind of looks like making a rocket stove out of a log.
