Stacking the wood

Stack a large number of kindling logs on top of the logs. It's important that there's air between the pieces of wood. Otherwise it will be harder for the fire to take hold.
Placing firelighters
Arrange a few firelighters on top of the logs.
Adjusting the air control knob
The air control knob must be fully open from ignition.

Add logs as you go
Add logs to the wood-burning stove only when the wood from the previous fire has burned down to embers. Add new logs to the stove only when the previous ones have burned down, not when the fire is burning hot.
