How to start a fire in the fireplace (without kindling).

So I used to chop kindling for hours until I figure it out this way now you can start a fire in less than five minutes and no sweat

[@kay7576]

This is exactly what I was looking for! Growing up my dad never taught me I feel like it's a basic thing to know but now doing it on my own my fires always die out and the logs I get never come with smaller pieces for kindling.

I know it is so frustrating. Let me know how it works for you this winter. Thanks so much for watching. I hope that more of my videos can help you.

Thanks! Having not done it in so long I completely forgot how to do it. Going to try it now.

[@northwoodsdiscovery6962]

Wow with this cold snap we had a fire today too. Funny I use this method and my wife and son sit in front of the fire for fifteen minutes trying whatever way they do but then I get it done in 1 minute. Lol Thanks for watching

Good tips. I'll give it a shot. Living in the burbs and don't have an axe and forgot to buy one. Not going back. Must have fire tonight! haha, Cheers

Thanks for the upload. Time saving hacks are just what I want.

[@northwoodsdiscovery6962]

Especially this one it avoids the splinters and gets me warm more quickly it’s supposed to be in the negatives this weekend.

[@sweetbeep]

@@northwoodsdiscovery6962 ..yes! Eek!

[@Layla_Bayla]

I only have small rounded logs. They are not cut in the center. I don't have a woodcutter and I'm also a woman so not going to bother with an axe or saw to split them...I dont have the strength right now. I do have trimmed branches as well. Hoping it'll still work. Thanks for the vid!

[@northwoodsdiscovery6962]

You’re welcome. I hope a few more of my videos can help you.

[@oakey732]

I am going to do this. Thank you.

[@northwoodsdiscovery6962]

It works every time. I wish my family would watch my videos. they sit in front of the fire for 20 minutes blowing and using tons of papers to no avail. oh well

[@oakey732]

[@Shylockcharm]

its not working outside.

[@northwoodsdiscovery6962]

It should work anywhere. Is it windy? Is the wood wet? Make sure the thinnest edge of the top pieces are pointed down.

[@Shylockcharm]

@@northwoodsdiscovery6962 it was windy and the wood was straight from the gas station. I used tonnes of cardboard

[@northwoodsdiscovery6962]

Wow. I can’t imagine

[@karlrovey]

​@@ShylockcharmThat wood might have also been wet.
