Best Woodstove Fire-Starters?
Can't wait, but in three months, it'll be time to warm up our one-season cottage again.
Until June, I try to keep the woodstove in some state of "burn" all the time; overnight, an unsplit Hemlock log lasts and lasts. However, a new start is required sometimes. Yes, pine cones are a decent fire-starter, but those annoying "reply-postcards" that fall out of magazines seem to be the best. Run through a paper-shredder, and those ribbons create a new fire perfectly—toss in a few with color photos, and you'll get blue and green flames! I'm saving 'em up for Spring, but maybe I'm missing something that's better at getting a woodstove started? Last edited by ApS; 12-03-2013 at 04:43 AM. Reason: change to new image |
