Wood Stove Tips And Tricks | How To Start A Fire The First Time, Every Time!

Starting a fire in these new wood stoves can be a challenge because of the way they are designed. This method will help your fire get going very fast without much effort at all. A simple inversion of the methods we all grew up using does the trick. Putting large logs on the bottom in a V pattern with the tinder and kindling in the middle then capping it off with larger logs on the top. Works every time!

Thanks for teaching me things my dad was never around to teach me. 😊

I’ve been trying to start a fire for three days straight with our new wood stove. Had no idea it wasn’t like the older ones. Tried this and worked the very first time. I’m so happy!! THANK YOU

This is the best video ever, never used our fireplace till I came across this video.

This worked very well! Same method for my north-south loading stove. No more slow, smoky fires that snuff out too quickly. Thanks!

Oh my god thank you! I didn’t grow up with a wood stove so when I moved into my new house I would spend 30 minutes trying to get it working. This is awesome. Can’t wait to show my husband my new skill😂

Thank you for making my stay at this country airbnb the way I envisioned it: with a warm fire! 🤩 After two failed attempts I typed in on YouTube 'how to...' and now I'm writing this in front of a beautiful fire 🔥

Tried this for the last three nights. Worked absolutely brilliantly every time. No fuss. I also leave a small layer of ash in the grate which seems to work as well. Thanks a million!

Oh my gosh. I just moved into a space with a wood stove... and it would always take me forever... thank you!

We're in the middle of a massive power outage here in the Pacific Northwest. We've had a wood stove in this house for the last 10 years and never used it.
I tried everything yesterday to get that thing burning even took a torch to it.
This method worked when nothing else would. I really appreciate it thank you.

I’m so happy that I found this video. I have been so cold for so long now, but now I finally started a fire. Thank you for the help.

This video has been a complete game changer. Lighting fires for over 20 years, always had problems with back draw and smoke getting in the room. This method has fixed that problem! Thank you

After watching this video, I tried it. WOW Starts the fire FAST and brings it up to temp very quickly..less than 10min. Great video! Thanks for posting

[cristianm]

Yo man! thank you for this tip, I have a similar wood burning stove. Great help! Instead of using news paper, and cardboard-I used one "enviro-log" and two pieces of dry wood. If anyone is reading this, it's a quick process similar to what we've seen here in the video. Only difference, more heat, and slower burning.

Looking forward to trying this tonight... just got a new fireplace like yours this month, and have had 3 fire fails already 🔥 🤦‍♂️

[Sarya]

Never had a fire log before. First time trying to start the fire I followed your steps... Voilà! Perfect quick and lasting fire. Thank you!

[charitysheeks]

Ty so much!! I could NOT get a fire to stay lit in my dads wood burning stove until now, thanks to you!! Finally!!😁😁🏆🔥

[elisarogge]

I had been struggling to get a fire started in my new wood burning stove. I tried everything! Followed your instructions and I now have a ragging fire on my first attempt! Thank you!

[Michelle_TimeWaverPro]

You absolute legend! I’ve been failing at this for a month or so until now. Thanks!

[vickiereed]

No, THANK YOU! I recently had a small stove, just like yours, installed and you were the first video I watched to learn how to work the wood stove to get a good fire going, as I have no experience with them. Thanks again! Now I can look forward to successful fires this winter season! God bless you and yours!
