Lighting a wood stove | The best way to light a woodburner
The best way to light a woodburner has arrived, Hot Box ® Firestarter eliminates the need for kindling, fire lighters and building a fire.
The best way to light a woodburner is a highly debated topic.
There is clearly more than one way to light a wood burner.
Over the years, many methods have been devised, tried and tested.
Ultimately, the key to success is to start small, use dry fuel and build up your fire slowly.
However, the purpose of this article is to discuss the best way, not all of the ways.
The component parts | What you need to light a woodburner
Commonly, a wood stove user will need to gather, kindling, firelighters and logs.
Often, it is important to grade your logs into sizes with smaller pieces set aside to use in order.
Firstly, let us explore exactly what each component part is and outline its function in the process.
Firelighters | A vast array of options are available. Hexamine based lighters, natural firelighters, wood wool firelighters, the list is endless.
Kindling | Small pieces of wood, that are dry and will ignite quickly.
Logs | The drier your fuel the better, split logs to use during the initial combustion phases immediately after using your kindling.
The method | The best way to light a wood stove
After you have gathered and arranged your component parts, then comes the business of setting your fire.
Traditional teepee type stacks can be effective or a benga style format with firelighters underneath.
In the alternative, ‘the top down method’ can be pretty effective as it warms the flue faster.
Ultimately, the main aim is to create a bed of embers and then add your fuel.
Further, from an environmental perspective the less smoke produced the better.
Setting your fire correctly in the first instance will form a good base, the better the base, the better the fire.

All of the above requires planning, organisation and time.
Sourcing kindling and firelighters can be one of those things that gets forgotten.
Obtaining logs, splitting them and stacking them needs space, time and effort.
