How to Build a Fire (Boyscount Style)
Collect Sticks
​Collect some fine pine branches from anywhere around the house (do not break of branches, they are green and wont burn!): Collect 4 decent hands full of branches and then a bunch of thicker ones.
Newspaper
Take 3 sheets of newspaper and LOOSLY crunch them up; place them in the bottom of the oven
Setup
Place the fine pine branches on top without pressing the newspaper down
Light
Light the newspaper in 2 or 3 places; if they appear to go out, blow gently on the paper
Build the Base
Once it catches, add some of the thicker pine branches and blow into the building amber
Wait ;)
Wait for 3 to 4 minutes. If the pine is humid, help by blowing some more.
Go for Gold
Once the fire is established add some small hard wood.
Door
Leave the door of the combustion oven slightly open for more air to get in
Add Hardwood
Once going well, add 1 big hardwood block and close the door with the handle.
To adjust the air inflow, adjust the lever. Left for slow longer burn - Right for hotter burn.
Enjoy
Poor a glass of wine and enjoy the fruit of your hard labour :)
How to Build a Fire (City Slicker Style)
Use Kindling
Kindling is available from the petrol station up the road. Alternatively collect some small-ish firewood from the pile or the surounds.
Fire Starters
Take 4 cubes of firestartes (supplied) and set them in the oven or fireplace. Be careful not to cover them in ash!
Light the Fire Starters
Light the cubes BEFORE you put any timber on them. Wait until they are burning well.
Put Firewood On
Add the firewood, starting with the smaller ones, then add some bigger ones right away too. Ensure you don't sufficate the firecubes.
