To light your log burner according to the provided method, you will arrange kindling and firelighters atop logs and set the appliance controls.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide based on the specified method:
Lighting a log burner effectively helps ensure a quick and clean burn. This specific method involves layering kindling and firelighters in a particular arrangement over your base logs before adjusting the appliance's controls.
Laying the Fire
Follow these steps to build the fire structure:
- Place 5 pieces of kindling across the two logs you have already placed in the burner.
- Lay 4 pieces of kindling at a 90-degree angle across this bottom layer.
- Place two firelighters in the gaps between the kindling layers.
- Add another five pieces of kindling, laid in the same direction as the bottom layer (across the logs).
This creates a structure that allows air to circulate around the firelighters and kindling, helping the fire to establish itself quickly.
Setting Controls
Once the kindling and firelighters are in place:
- Set the controls of the appliance to the lighting position. This typically involves opening vents to maximize airflow, providing the oxygen needed for ignition and initial burning.
By following these steps, you prepare your log burner for ignition using the described kindling and firelighter arrangement and control setting.
Here's a summary of the kindling arrangement:
| Layer | Quantity | Placement | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | N/A | Two logs (already in burner) | Foundation |
| Kindling 1 | 5 pieces | Across the two logs | First layer |
| Kindling 2 | 4 pieces | 90 degrees across Kindling 1 | Second layer |
| Firelighters | 2 pieces | In gaps between kindling layers | Ignition source |
| Kindling 3 | 5 pieces | Same direction as Kindling 1 | Top layer |
