For large grates, use a 9 inch
diameter log (6 inch diameter log for small grates) that’s at least twelve
inches in length on the lower log rests, in the rear of the firebox.
Add paper, kindling and smaller pieces of wood in front of the log and
rotate the upper log rest in to secure it. Next add a 6" or 4" log
on top of the upper log rest leaning diagonally on the large log below.
Light the fire, when the kindling in front burns down, simply rotate
the upper rests away allowing the upper log (6 inch or 4 inch) to drop
and replace the kindling.
Replace the upper rests again and place a new
log on top to continue the cycle.
When the large log burns down, pull the coals forward and replace
with another log to continue the radiant heat benefits of the grate.
Enjoy the benefits of a clean efficient burn that
makes start up a breeze and frequent fueling a thing of the past.
