So here's a good suggestion for you and it works great too. Go buy a bag of lump charcoal for one of those big green egg BBQ grills. No lighter fluid is necessary. A few scoops is all you need and once lit it creates a very good fire base without the need to put things in your wood stove such as candle wax or soft wood that is really not the best to do even if in small amounts. Plus it doesn't burn up quick like paper does.
