Lighting Your Wood Burning Fireplace
Your wood burning replace is designed to use a grate to hold the
wood to be burned approximately 2”-3” off the base. This allows air to
get to the bottom of the wood and gives room for ash to accumulate.
Do not attempt to burn wood in your appliance without a proper grate
installed.
WARNING: Never use liquids such as gasoline or lighter uid in a
wood burning replace. Serious injury can occur.
Have several sizes of wood available. Small pieces will be needed to
start the re, some medium sizes and nally larger logs that will burn
for a longer period of time. Make sure all logs are small enough to t
entirely into the replace or repit. If the wood is too large, cut or split
it until it will t into the enclosure.
Wad up some dry newspaper and put it under the grate but be 1.
carefull of ash that may be under grate from a previous re.
Put small pieces of wood over the newspaper, on the grate. Small 2.
wood should not be more than 1/2” thick and 1” wide. Smaller
wood will burn easier and make the re easier to start. Make sure
to leave room for air to circulate around the small pieces of wood.
On top of the small pieces of wood put a few medium sized pieces 3.
of wood. These pieces can be from 1” to 2” thick but should not
block airow around the small pieces.
Light the newspaper under the grate in several places. As wood 4.
begins to burn, add more medium sized pieces one at a time until
a good coal base is formed. At this time you can add larger pieces
of wood. Always make sure there is sufceint room for air to ow
around the wood that is added or you may smother your re.
Warning! Never leave a burning replace or repit unattended!
