Because cribs of wood are widely used to produce experimental fires it is sometimes necessary to predict their burning behavior especially when their burning rate is not controlled primarily by some other factor such as the window opening in a compartment. If the window is large enough the behavior of the compartment fire is strongly influenced by the crib design and it is desirable to compare the behavior of the crib in the compartment and in the open to asses the influence of, say, heat loss to the walls. Several sets of crib data for burning in the open are available and in this report some attempt is made to correlate their behavior.
