HOW TO LIGHT THE LOG BURNER

There is nothing quite as cosy than snuggling up in front a fire when it is chilly outside. Our huts have all got log burnings for you to enjoy.


We provide enough logs and fire lighters for you to use while you stay, but if you find you have run out we have more located in our Honesty box, located near your hut. We ask you pay a small fee the extra logs and fire lighters you need

HOW TO LIGHT THE LOG BURNER

STEP BY STEP:

Step 1

Create a pile of kindling: Start with 2 pieces of kindling on the bottom 

then tum another 2 pieces 90 degrees on top of them. keep repeating this, 

stacking them up like a game of Jenga. 

Step 2

Now light 2 or 3 firelighters and drop these in the middle of the kindling stack created.

Step 3

From here it's best to leave the door slightly ajar, allowing extra air into the stove. Keep the vents fully open too to ensure the kindling will catch fire. 

After 5 minutes the chimney will begin to warm up. 

Step 4

At this point it's important to build the fire up slowly. 

Add two small logs on top of the kindling while still leaving the door ajar.

Step 5

After around 10 minutes add one standard sized log on the fire and still keep the door ajar as this will help the log catch fire. 

Your stove should now be just about getting up to temperature. 

Step 6

Finally, after another 10 minutes add another standard log. You can now close the door and control the stove by the airflow vents.

But make sure don't completely close the vents straight away as the flue still needs warming before being able to do this.
