Tips for Sure Fire Starts and Easy Burning<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. For easy burning of any size log ensure that the fireplace<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>has a good hot bed of coals first.\u00a0<\/span>(Gas<\/span>log lighters may not ignite 3 or 4 large sections of<\/span>\u00a0Firewood).<\/span><\/u><\/li>\n
  2. Use<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>3 or 4 pieces of newspaper and LOTS OF\u00a0KINDLING<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>(use the bark and splinters or split\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>smaller piece of wood into 1\u201d and 2\u201d sizes). Put\u00a0another<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>section of newspaper crumpled on top\u00a0before<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>lighting. (It\u2019s important to get a good draft or\u00a0drawing<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>situation in the firebox and chimney flue)\u00a0Turn<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the fresh air fan on low if you have one.<\/li>\n
  3. Burn<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>smaller pieces for 15 -20 minutes before adding\u00a0large<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>logs one at a time. For easier combustion\u00a0criss-cross<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the logs when adding to the fire.<\/li>\n
  4. Open all dampers and fresh air supply sources fully when starting the fire. If the fireplace has glass doors leave them open a crack to starts. This assists the drawing action of the fire and reduces the tendency for the fire to deposit smoke and creosote on glass doors when the glass is cold.<\/li>\n
  5. STOKE<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>THE FIRE TO A BRISK BURN EVERY\u00a0<\/span>15-20<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>MINUTES.\u00a0<\/span>Remember if you adjust air inlets\u00a0<\/span>to achieve longer burn that this type of fire produces some smoke and creosote.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Do<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>not leave the fireplace unattended when the\u00a0doors are open.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. DO<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>NOT CLOSE DOWN THE DAMPER\u00a0COMPLETELY. Most systems require a substantial supply<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of air not only for combustion and heating\u00a0purposes<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>but for cooling the outer shell of the unit\u00a0as well.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Keep<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>6 or 7 sticks in the house to be ready for the\u00a0next fire.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Safety First<\/h3>\n
      \n
        \n
      1. Cut<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>wood the right length for your firebox.<\/li>\n
      2. Don\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>over fire your stove or fireplace.<\/li>\n
      3. Artificial<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>logs contain paraffin which burns very\u00a0hot. Do not burn more than one at a time.<\/span><\/li>\n
      4. Keep<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a fire extinguisher handy.<\/li>\n
      5. Inspect<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the chimney regularly for creosote\u00a0build-up.<\/span><\/li>\n
      6. NEVER<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>use firestarter, gasoline, kerosene, or other\u00a0similar fuels<\/span>!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n
