Personally, i put the kindling underneath the and I fill the firebox right up because your fire will burn out in about 5 minutes and it will have to be re-lit. the first time I light it for the season I add wood several times to get enough coals so you can walk away from it for half a day. In the off season i leave my circulating pumps on low, i never turn those off. Those are Grundfos pumps, they are almost MilSpec. On first time lighting I always top the tank up, add some anti-corrosion and inspect my coils in the shop, house and greenhouse for leaks. And you also forgot to crack a beer, the most important part of fire lighting day. later.

Another easy way to start a fire is use a 1/2 a bale of hay after putting the 1/2 bale in fill to the top with regular wood you wood normally fire it with then strike one match and light the bottom of the hay close door and 1 minute later turn on the blower. Works great.

1 bag of instie light charcoal works great as well.
