You may investigate a curved blade sometimes called a crooked knife, it is easier to carve the rounded shapes.
Mora makes one

Burn it yes, start a fire no. Flame is a bad thing when coal burning. The idea is to keep the coals burning, and then scrape out the char they create. Flame can cause cracking and various other problems.

Hey Northern here are some examples of hook knifes. Since you live in Canada, Lee Valley sells these.
Ive been meaning to get the one on the top of the pic for some time. Ive been wanting to carve out a spoon  &
small drinking cup.

The bottom two resemble the hoof knife used by farriers. 
Good luck with that bowl, NH.
