4. 4 Lighting your first fire
Simple guide to your first fire
We recommend the goldilocks and the three bears method; small fire,
medium fire, hot fire. This will warm the stove up gently, and properly
cure the paint.
Fuel
Scrunch up paper/firelighter, place under kindling in a teepee shape
inside the firebox. Arrange paper so it is accessible via front lighting hole.
Close lid.
Air controls
Open all air controls: primary , secondary, lighting hole and ash pan door
Small fire
Light a match, long ones are easier and light the paper through the
lighting hole. Burn for 15 minutes.
Medium fire
Once the kindling fire is well established add larger split logs, use gloves,
close ash door and adjust controls. Burn for about an hour.
Hot fire
Add extra wood , burn for an additional hour. Your stove paint should be
largely cured!
