LOADING AND STARTING THE FIRE
HOT START LIGHTING
A hot start uses the coals from the previous day’s burning operation. Depending on
how much ash is in the pit, a hot start can be done once or twice before the pit will
need to be emptied. The more ash in the pit that you start with, the LESS room you
have for burning new materials.
First, insure there are enough coals remaining to generate enough heat to get the new
waste materials burning. You CANNOT add an accelerant, if the waste materials do
not light, as that would be too dangerous. If the material does not light, the pit must be
emptied before trying a cold start with the use of an accelerant.
HOT START LIGHTING
Similarly to a cold start you begin with your best and most burnable materials.
1)
Load the fire pit to about one third or half way with the “Good Wood”. The wood
should begin burning as soon as you start loading.
2) Engage the fan at 1,400 RPM. This should help fan the flames and spread the
fire. If you experience heavy smoke then reduce the RPM or disengage the fan.
Be cautious not to “blow out” the fire.
3)
As the fire begins to heat up, increase the RPM’s. Sometimes it is helpful to
“fan” the fire during the start-up phase. You accomplish this by increasing the
RPM for 3 to 8 minutes, then decreasing it (i.e. 1,000 RPM up to 2,000 RPM
and back down to 1,000 RPM). This sometimes helps to spread the fire
throughout the material. How much air to add and when to add it during startup
will vary with the type of materials being burned.
DANGER: Do not
use an accelerant for a Hot Start, as it may ignite
unexpectedly and cause injury or death.
