Next crumple half a dozen sheets of newspaper and put them in the firebox. The amount of newspaper you need
will depend on the firebox size, and the dryness and fineness of the kindling you are using. The drier and finer
the kindling, the less newspaper you need. Many people make the mistake of using too little newspaper. Be
generous with the newspaper and you will have more success. Putting some firelighter under the newspaper can
also help sustain firebox temperature until the wood is burning.
On top of the paper place 10 to 15 pieces of finely split, dry kindling. Softwoods, such as cedar and pine, make
good kindling. Ideally, the kindling should be placed on and behind the newspaper so that the combustion air
reaches the newspaper fast where you light up. It is also a good idea to add two or three very small pieces of
firewood to the kindling load before lighting.
For
Open Fires,
set the newspaper alight around the base of the fire and allow the fire to take. Ensure that the
damper is in the fully open position if filled.
The goal when lighting wood fire is to use only one match and to achieve rapid ignition of the load without
fussing or waiting for it to catch. After practicing this procedure a few times, you might be surprised at how
quickly you can establish a right, smoke free, hot fire. When the flames from the kindling load just begin to
subside, add several
small
pieces of firewood. Try to avoid smothering the fire with the new pieces. Placing the
pieces on and behind the burning kindling can help prevent smothering.
