Great! Thanks for this- I've been trying to light my fire for ages- and this is really good!! Only thing you didn't say is why it's good to have a smoke-free fire- and what to do if there's smoke coming out.
Too much work dave trust me i hate doing this , get old candle wax melt it on newspaper screw them up put two inside under your normal wood with only a little kindling and up it goes soon as you light the wax close the door .most smoke enters house on start up ,cant beat the old candle on newspaper .learnt of an oldtimer.
Hey Dave, you're doing it wrong. The best way to get the fire to draw as soon as possible is to use 2 x firestarters - one halved in amongst the kindling and the other sitting on top of the baffle directly underneath the flue. Light this one a couple of minutes before lighting the 2 halves and your fire is guaranteed to draw from the get go thanks to the pre-warmed flue!
The paper knots tip is elite.

That’s exactly what I was thinking
Worked like a charm on the first go, thank you
I think the top down fire lighting method is better you just light it and leave it to do it's thing and there's no smoke
Ours is a stove and doesn't have any air control. I will try a variation of this though. Thank you.
Oh thank you, i'll try it tonight.
I follow the video. It's really helpful. Thank u very much.😀
What do you think to burning horse chestnut?
great video
Why do you use paper, I dont use paper and it works all the time, im from the arctic circle
Thank you!
I just burnt my house down
Thats alot of babysitting the fire!
Try top down method!
do you burn pine logs in the wood stove
Just keep the door open, way better heat

Shouldn’t have that wood so close to stove can catch fire
No problem
You should be wearing lengthy gauntlets when adding logs.!
There crap open fires are way better
