Congratulations…This video gets to the point of information that I needed. I spend a little time in the woods gathering fallen broken off varietal hard wood tree branches. The tiniest ends of the branches (the diameter of a pencil and smaller) are collected in a wheeled garbage can and saved for my kindling. All together I have 5 different sizes of wood. As the branch continues in length I collect 3 different sizes which can be broken by hand and by foot. At some point the wood is so thick and strong a small chainsaw is needed. The 2 larger sizes are cut with a more substantial sized chainsaw but I don’t split the wood. I start my fire with a couple of tissues and arrange my kindling like a little teepee and add the 2nd and 3rd sized pieces of wood and then light with a match or two. Once the fire is sure I gently add the larger sticks and finally larger logs of wood. This works for me as I enjoy spending time in the woods and it really makes use of all nature is offering.
You are making a video to teach people how to light a fire. People who don't know how to light a fire in a wood stove probably don't know what a secondary burn means either.
Also I've been using about 5 self lighting briquettes for a BBQ grill. Lite those under your wood and it takes a lot of the headache out of the rest of it. IT WORKS LIKE A CHAMP TO START THE STOVE UP.
Will Skubi 33 seconds ago I have been heating my home with a wood stove for a third of a century. My conclusion is that there isn't one best way to build a fire ---it's a matter of personal style, the materials you have available and the nature of your stove. Personally I burn scarp wood of various kinds easily available from lumber yards and commercial outfits near me. So it's all no cost, and I mostly cut it to length using a table saw. I have a splitting maul that I use in my living room to split pieces of wood to whatever degree of fineness I wish. And it's fast at splitting apart whatever I want with one stroke. I usually use a half sheet of newspaper, which gets dipped lightly in some used motor That and some kindling I've split gets things started easily. Once the fire is going, it's just a matter of not overwhelming the fire with bigger chunks of wood, which tend to cool down the fire if too much is added too soon. But ----experiment! Find out what works for you, your wood and your stove!
This fire pit is one of a few covered pits that is on the list ruclips.net/user/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM of approved products for Disney Fort Wilderness. The product served its purpose well and provided excellent fires throughout the evening. We were able to open the door and do s'mores, but I had to be careful because the handle was a bit hot on occasions. Additionally, I wish they had replaced some of the standard nuts with lock nuts in some places. We lost the door handle after just a couple of days of usage. Not a deal breaker, just a recommendation. I still give it 5 stars.
I've got an old WW2 German flame thrower that my dad confiscated from a captured German soldier. It still lights up my stove just fine,as long as you stand about ten feet back when you use it.
hi I just baught a home and it came with a wood burning stove. I bought the treated wood. what do you use to start the fire? can you buy it at home depot, lowes.
Great video,lighting a stove can be baffeling challenging at times.We have been suppling the answer to this for the past 5 years at woofwoodfuel.We are an online green leaning fuel merchant and distribute nationwide.
I use a weed burner torch. Takes 1 minute. 1 Coleman propane can lasts a whole winter. I pile the leftover coals from the previous day in the center, and put small logs on the sides with the coals in the middle, two more logs sideways over the top of the coals. I use a weed burner torch to light the black wood coals and start the fire. In under 1 minute it's a roaring fire that creates a fast draft. No paper, cardboard, kindling or waiting.

You are correct there. I’m asking myself “what is a secondary burn”? Hopefully I can find the answer on here.
Don’t call me out like that, it’s my first time lol

This video has helped my family today! We’re at a cottage, no heat, and couldn’t figure out how to light this thing safety.

Fuel your stove with cardboard, newspapers, phone bills, I.R.S. summons and love letters.

whats wrong with it
You can use woodprix instructions to build it in the cheapest way.
These exhibitions are so unrealistic.
