Materials:
- Newspaper
- Cardboard in 2 inch strips
- Kindling
- Small pieces of firewood - 2 inch diameter or less
- Matches
Locate and open your stove's vent all the way. Now start your fire. I light the newspaper and cardboard first. Once your firewood has caught on fire and burned for a couple of minutes you can add a piece or two more of firewood. Take a fire poker and carefully turn the embers and burning wood in the stove before adding your larger pieces of wood. Allow your wood stove's vents to stay open until the larger pieces of wood are ignited well. Now you can adjust the vents to your desired heat output of the stove.
Wood stoves work best when they are used in cold weather and for longer than 1 hour. The stat that I found said 32 degrees and below.
