Sick.
seems very fuel and labor intensive but I guess starting a fire is hard without a fire
keeping at least coals going is pretty easy, and yeah it prevents the intensive labor of starting one from scratch.
Yeah, most cultures have a way to keep and revive embers. This can be difficult if you don't have that much access to hard, dry wood to burn though. Making new fire from scratch every time isn't only annoying, it's really inefficient if you don't have a good supply of calories to spend doing that.
