Firelighters, pyramid or criss cross tower of kindling wood, match, small wood ,big wood, total eclipse

I just used my method and it was roaring within 5 minutes

You cannot beat a log fire.

Get chimneys swept before lighting any fires.

(Unless previous occupants regularly use the fireplaces)

Small slivers of wood

It's a fish that does good deeds

Also means when a behavior is more likely to happen as the subject has done it before.

The path is trodden so to speak.

many thanks whats the going price of the wood please

about £1 for a bag of kindling and £2.50 for a bag of logs, are your fires back to back with 2 chimneys separated by feathers and then merging into one.?

I pay £20 for a ton of hardwood offcuts.

Prices vary vastly, depends where you live.

they are separate one in each room got to go now catch you all later many thanks

when the flames hit the knots in the wood and they fire out as burning bullets ,you will know youve arrived ...
Hope youve got stone floors ... :D

No knots in my wood.
