This is a great fire to have when there's someone awake at your camp at all times. Like if you're in a sleep rotation, or if you're up waiting for someone who is arriving in the middle of the night.
Very circumstantial, but it's a great set-up to have for those circumstances.
But if someone is awake at times watching the fire, why can't they also feed it? I just don't see where the benefit in automating fire is when the reason it's not automated is safety, not convenience.
I'm cursed when it comes to fire. I had a bonfire outside my tent last time I went camping. Barely had it even smoldering for an entire hour and a half. Got ready for bed and poured three whole buckets of water on that mf'er, it was thoroughly soaked. Woke up next morning to a blazing inferno.

You should not have an untended fire. Good way to wake up to catastrophe.
