Everyone around the fire gets at least one attempt at stoking the fire, iffn you suck and fail during your turn, you're banned from poking at it.
 
Not sure if this will count but teach a young one how to start/build a fire in the wet/cold winter is something we should all do. I was showing a young lad (12-13) how to start a fire with wet wood last week at camp. For decades I've made a fire starter from toilet paper and paraffin /wax. To test it, I toss a piece into a pail of water for about an hour. This approximates tipping a canoe or getting soaking wet, then being able to use it to start a fire with wet wood. I tell him to assemble enough wood for a night, then let him know he needs 3-4X that much. We started a fire and kept it going for about an hour just to show that he can do it. Nothing beats a fire if you're wet/cold or lost. Weenies are a bonus.
 
Everyone, particularly those blessed with OCD, have their own system for starting and maintaining campfires. If they understand that a fire needs oxygen and don't smother it, I say "let them knock themselves out." If they smother the fire, teach them how to prop the wood up so that it can breath... then sit back and enjoy your beer.
 
Haha depends who it is that does the fixin, and how much drama you want in your life at that particular point in time. Which, if you're sitting around a campfire, is probably not a lot.

I'd usually give someone a chance, and then I'd verbally berate them if they #### it up more than a couple times, haha.
 
Depends what you want out of the fire? Do you want a bed of cooking coals or do you want a dancing flame? usuall tell the boys how to place the wood and show them how to adjust it if it isn't working

Young fellers is usually the only ones who insist on playing with the fire
 
If you can get a fire going on the wet coast, you can pretty well get a fire going anywhere. I love a nice fire, and don't care who stokes it as long as they don't smother it. It reminds me of my old yellow lab, she would fetch a beer for me from the camper.
 
Some folk just don't seem able to figure out why they stink like burnt hair when they gets a fire goin using gazoline!!!!
 
Need more clarity from the question??

A campfire for:
Cooking
Staying warm - summer
Staying warm - winter
Size of group - eating
Size of group - socializing
Age range of group
Availability of firewood
Cost of firewood
Current forest fire danger rating
Proximity to neighbour(s)
How inebriated are the fire sitters

LOL...just messing with ya. Someone that can...starts the fire...anyone that gets the need can feed the fire, poke the fire, or comment about the fire. Common sense needs to be used. If someone is cooking no adding wood.
And NO !#$%^ SPITTING IN/AROUND THE FIRE!​
