Building

 

Different

 

Fires

 

for

 

Different

 

Needs

 

Using

 

the

 

air

 

control

 

is

 

not

 

the

 

only

 

way

 

to

 

match

 

the

 

fireplace’s

 

heat

 

output

 

to

 

the

 

heat

 

demand.

 

Your

 

house

 

will

 

need

 

far

 

less

 

heat

 

in

 

October

 

than

 

in

 

January

 

to

 

be

 

kept

 

at

 

a

 

comfortable

 

temperature.

 

If

 

you

 

fill

 

the

 

firebox

 

full

 

in

 

fall

 

weather,

 

you

 

will

 

either

 

overheat

 

the

 

space

 

or

 

turn

 

the

 

fireplace

 

down

 

so

 

much

 

that

 

the

 

fire

 

will

 

be

 

smoky

 

and

 

inefficient.

 

Here

 

are

 

some

 

suggestions

 

for

 

building

 

fires

 

to

 

match

 

different

 

heat

 

demand.

 

4.4.6.1

 

Small

 

Fires

 

to

 

Take

 

the

 

Chill

 

Off

 

the

 

House

 

To

 

build

 

a

 

small

 

fire

 

that

 

will

 

produce

 

a

 

low

 

heat

 

output,

 

use

 

small

 

pieces

 

of

 

firewood

 

and

 

load

 

them

 

crisscross

 

in

 

the

 

firebox.

 

The

 

pieces

 

should

 

be

 

only

 

3”

 

to

 

4”

 

in

 

diameter.

 

After

 

raking

 

the

 

coals,

 

you

 

can

 

lay

 

two

 

pieces

 

parallel

 

to

 

each

 

other

 

corner

 

to

 

corner

 

in

 

the

 

firebox

 

and

 

lay

 

two

 

more

 

across

 

them

 

in

 

the

 

other

 

direction.

 

Open

 

the

 

air

 

control

 

fully

 

and

 

only

 

reduce

 

the

 

air

 

after

 

the

 

wood

 

is

 

fully

 

flaming.

 

This

 

kind

 

of

 

fire

 

is

 

good

 

for

 

mild

 

weather

 

when

 

you

 

are

 

around

 

to

 

tend

 

the

 

fireplace

 

and

 

should

 

provide

 

enough

 

heat

 

for

 

four

 

hours

 

or

 

more.

 

Small

 

fires

 

like

 

this

 

are

 

a

 

good

 

time

 

to

 

use

 

softer

 

wood

 

species

 

so

 

there

 

will

 

be

 

less

 

chance

 

of

 

overheating

 

the

 

house.

 

4.4.6.2

 

Long

 

Lasting

 

Low

 

Output

 

Fires

 

Sometimes

 

you

 

will

 

want

 

to

 

build

 

a

 

fire

 

to

 

last

 

up

 

to

 

eight

 

hours,

 

but

 

don’t

 

need

 

intense

 

heat.

 

In

 

this

 

case

 

use

 

soft

 

wood

 

species

 

and

 

place

 

the

 

logs

 

compactly

 

in

 

the

 

firebox

 

so

 

the

 

pieces

 

are

 

packed

 

tightly

 

together.

 

You

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

fire

 

the

 

load

 

hot

 

for

 

long

 

enough

 

to

 

fully

 

char

 

the

 

log

 

surfaces

 

before

 

you

 

can

 

turn

 

the

 

air

 

down.

 

Make

 

sure

 

the

 

fire

 

is

 

flaming

 

brightly

 

before

 

leaving

 

the

 

fire

 

to

 

burn.

for

 

Cold

 

Weather

 

When

 

the

 

heat

 

demand

 

is

 

high

 

during

 

cold

 

weather,

 

you’ll

 

need

 

a

 

fire

 

that

 

burns

 

steadily

 

and

 

brightly.

 

This

 

is

 

the

 

time

 

to

 

use

 

larger

 

pieces

 

of

 

hardwood

 

fuel

 

if

 

you

 

have

 

it.

 

Put
