Fireplace Lighting Instructions
Establish a good draft before lighting a fire to help prevent smoke from spilling into the room or adjoining units. Use well-seasoned wood and follow the owner instructions for ashes and firewood access.
- 1Open the flue damper fully before lighting a fire.
- 2Place crumpled or twisted paper under the fireplace grate.
- 3Arrange kindling or small pieces of wood loosely in a tent shape.
- 4Pre-warm the flue with a rolled piece of burning newspaper held below the damper for a few moments.
- 5Light the paper, then add small wood pieces until a hot bed of embers has formed.
- 6Add at least three average pieces of split firewood with space for air and flames between them.
