RE: Tried and True Fire-starting Technique - The Herringbone

in #homesteading7 years ago

Very true! This happens from time to time with me, even with a good staring fire, if the house has been cold for a while. I have been trying to figure out a way to easily and efficiently pre-warm the chimney for these times. Some sort of heat coil would be neat but what 🤔🤔🤔

It seems to work well for me to light a nice piece of paper or cardboard right under the chimney. The cardboard seems to work the best and we get enough boxes from Amazon especially at this time of year! Shopping online has made life so much easier now we're living so far outside a good-sized town!
