How to Build a Clean Burning Fire With Little Smoke

On a chilly winter night, nothing warms a home more quickly than a crackling wood fire. Building a brightly burning fire takes a little practice, but once you've mastered the technique you'll start efficient fires in only a few minutes.

Instructions :
1-Place two split logs in your fireplace with 4 to 6 inches between them. Choose
logs that are about 3 to 4 inches thick.

2-Twist a length of black and white newspaper and place it between the two logs.

3-Place 1 inch of kindling on top of the newspaper and logs. Light the newspaper with a match and allow it to burn for several minutes.

4-Lay 3 or 4 small logs (3 to 4 inches thick) perpendicularly on top of the two logs in the fireplace once the kindling has almost burned out.

5-Add larger logs once the fire is burning brightly. Always add 2 or more logs at a time for most efficient burning
