HOT TIP #1 - HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE
​
Start with some small twigs and kindling over some bunched up newspaper. It may help to screw newspaper up like sticks.
If you have a log burner place two large pieces of wood on the bottom of the fire. Place newspaper between the two logs and layer the kindling on top of the two larger logs in a crisscrossed pattern. This helps to get more air into the fire and will enable the fire to be easily relit if doesn’t light first time.
Light the fire with some safety matches or a lighter and try to double the size of the fire each time you add to it. Remember that adding too larger pieces of wood to the fire too early may smother the fire.
HOT TIP #2 - Planning ahead

Being prepared for the winter weather is important. When placing an order for firewood it is key to having dry storage. When orders are placed in the later winter months you risk the delivery service being completed in wet weather. The precipitation in winter months is much greater than our dry central summer months and prior to or during the delivery, the wood may get rained on. Buyer may think the wood is then considered wet. However the surface water does not penetrate the dense old pine firewood after is has dried.
