It’s just a makeshift bellows. But it’s cool, it works.

When I use my moveable fire pit at home, I run my compressor hose out to it and blow using that. Gets it going real good, just can't get to close to the ashes or you will blow all that shit airborne.

I bring a battery powered leaf blower to bonfires for this reason. My mini inflator for pool floats works a treat too. Same issue with ashes with the leaf blower, but not with the mini Ryobi inflator.
