How to Start a Wood Fire
The smell and sound of a fire can be an excellent addition to any home. But it's important to learn the proper way to make a fire on your stove. Incorrect techniques can lead to a fire that doesn't burn effectively and produces creosote or smoke. The following tips can help you start a fire that will heat your home with minimum effort and with the highest safety.
Before you start a fire, you should check the condition of your coals and logs. If they're damp, it will smother your fire and prevent the proper burning. You might also want to open the flue to let any ash that has been deposited into the stove.
Start by placing a few small shed wood stove newspaper pieces that are dry into your stove. This will help ignite the tinder and kindling. Once these begin to burn, add another layer of larger pieces of kindling to the top of the pile. This should be done using the crosshatch pattern to ensure that there is air between each piece.
If you own wood stoves that have an automatic control of combustion that will automatically deliver a controlled stream of air to your flame as it heats. This will help the fire to burn at a consistent pace without having to open the stove's door to maintain it.
It is essential to avoid using excessive tinder as this can lead to an unburned fire that burns at an extremely high rate and fails to use the fuel as efficiently as it can. If you have a solid bed of tinder and kindling in your stove Wood burning, you can start the main fire by laying two large base logs on the grill. Then, you can lay a layer of smaller logs perpendicular to these and on the top of the base logs.

Adding Wood
Stoves are not just beautiful home décor pieces they can also help you save money by providing efficient wood heat. They can be used together with central heating systems or furnace to provide supplemental heating for large homes. Many of the new stoves online that are clean-burning use a superior combustion principle that differentiates the burning process of volatile compounds from combustible gases and tar by supplying air in two distinct stages. The first stage is for the vaporization, while the second step is to supply fresh air that has been pre-heated. This improves combustion and reduces the odors.
The amount of heat you get from a stove will depend on the species and the moisture content of the wood you use as well as the size of the logs. The logs must be stored in a ventilated area for several months before you attempt to burn them to give the wood a chance to dry. If the logs contain excessive moisture, they will produce steam which is essentially wasted power.
You should add wood to the pile in intervals and not all at once. Adding too much wood at once causes the temperature inside the firebox to increase and creates a vortex, which draws smoke and unburnt volatile compounds back into the flame which can reduce the efficiency of your stove.
Avoid using other combustibles inside your stove, such as paper or cardboard, as they are not wood. They have different physical properties and are unable to be burned without causing dangerously high temperatures. Also, avoid using compressed combustibles like wood briquettes, as they have a very different physical and chemical composition from real firewood, and are not suitable for burning in wood-burning stoves.

This is the most effective way to ensure that your fire is lit and to prevent it from becoming too hot. If you close the damper too far it may stop the draft from working, however should it be too wide, a cold breeze could blow into your home.
You can determine how much the damper is open by placing your hand on the top of the of the flue pipe. If you can feel a slight draft pushing against your hand, it is probably in the open position.
