Burning to death was normally done in one of two ways. In the first, the victim would be lead to the center of a wall of sticks and tied to the stake, after the space between the criminal and the wall would be filled with wood. The person would then be trapped. The other method was to pile sticks and straw up to the legs only.
When performed by a good executioner, the person would burn from their legs up to their head slowly and then finally death. This made it extremely painful. If a group was going to be burned at the same time, you could die quicker from carbon monoxide poisoning. This punishment was mostly used on witches, thieves, and murderers.
