Lighting a Wood Burning / Multi Fuel stove

[Tarrel]

NR, that's exactly the process we use in the Rayburn, and it works well.

I was once shown how to light a fire "South Africa style". I was told to put a fire-lighter square in the fire pit, and balance a single log on it, about the thickness of my forearm, then light the fire-lighter. You can imagine my reaction!

Anyway, we tried it, and it worked! The mopane wood they use for firewood out there is so dry, it will just burst into flame. It's also so hard that it's virtually impossible to cut into smaller pieces.
