3. 4 Lighting a fire

Important: lighting a fire must be done with thin dry wood.
1. Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and another layer of
thicker wood on top. You must leave the pieces crossed and with enough separation between them to
allow proper air flow.
2. Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood using fire-lighters or special lighting products, if necessary.
3. Leave the door ajar, with an opening between 0,5cm to 3cm, so that enough air can enter for the fire to
light quickly.
4. Once the wood is well-lit, wait until the woodburner temperature is high before completely closing the
door (10 to 45 minutes, depending on factors like wood, air circulation, etc.) and adjust the air inlet.
If you find that the volume of flames decreases, or the fire tends to go out and the smoke inside the
fireplace increases, open the air intake more or repeat step 3.
