5.2.1 Conventional Method
The conventional way to build a wood fire is to bunch up
5 to 10 sheets of plain newspaper and place them in the
firebox. Next, place 10 or so pieces of fine kindling on the
newspaper. This kindling should be very thin; less than
1" (25 mm). Next, place some larger kindling pieces on
the fine kindling. Open the air control fully and light the
newspaper. If you have a tall, straight venting system you
should be able to close the door immediately and the fire
will ignite. Once the fire has ignited, close the door and
leave the air control fully open.

DO NOT LEAVE THE INSERT UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED. ALWAYS
CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR AFTER THE FIRE IGNITES.
After the kindling fire has mostly burned, you can add standard firewood pieces until you have a fire
of the right size for the conditions.
5.2.2 The Top Down Method
The top down method solves two problems encountered when using the conventional method: first,
the fire does not collapse on itself and smother as it burns; and second, it is not necessary to build
up the fire gradually since the firebox is loaded before the fire is lit. A top down fire can burn for two
hours or more. The top down method works properly only if well-seasoned wood is used.
Three or four full-sized split pieces of dry firewood are placed in the firebox. Then, 4 or 5 more finely
split pieces of firewood (2" to 3" [50 mm to 75 mm] in diameter) are placed on the top of the logs at
right angles (log cabin style). Next, a dozen finely split kindling are placed on the second layer at
right angles.
The fire is topped with 5 sheets of newspaper, stuffed in between the kindling, under the baffle. Knots
can be made in the newspaper by rolling up single sheets corner to corner and tying a knot in them.
The advantage of knots is that they don’t roll off the fire as they burn. Newspaper is lit and the fire
burns from top to bottom.
5.2.3 Two Parallel Logs Method
Two spit logs are placed in the firebox with a few sheets of twisted newspapers in between the logs.
Fine kindling is added across the two logs and some larger kindling across those, log cabin style.
Newspaper is lit.
5.2.4 Using Fire Starters
Commercial fire starters can be used instead of a newspaper. Some of these starters are made of
sawdust and wax and others are made of specialized flammable solid chemicals. Always follow the
package directions when using.
