How to make the most of your fire
To make the most of your fire, you need to understand fire works! To create fire you need three things, oxygen, heat and fuel. Then to keep the fire going, you need to make sure there is a constant source of all three things. For example, if the wood (fuel) is starting to burn down, add more fuel to keep it going. Or if you’ve closed the air pipes slightly and the flames begin to dim, open them up and let some more oxygen in the burner.
The type of wood you use also has an effect on the efficiency of your burner. Each type of wood has a different heat output. A good hardwood such as Hickory or Apple would be our ideal fuel source to burn.
