7. The initial wood now ignites rapidly and the
upper, thinner sticks of firewood start to burn
brightly. You should now close the fire door
completely.
8. Once the upper, thinner firewood has been burned completely, and the fire
reaches down to the next layer, you must reduce the flow of combustion air.
During this phase it may be advisable to regulate the volume of air several

the fire grows very quickly.
9. Once the fire has reached the lowest layer of
firewood, the air flow can be reduced even
further.
10. The fuel will burn down to a pile of hot
