A fireplace can make for a nice aesthetic addition to your home, but it
can also give your
furnace in Seattle a break if you use it properly. If you want to make the most
of your fireplace insert, you should know how to build a fire so it continues
to warm your home without causing pollution or hazards to your home. Watch
this video on building the perfect fire.
Before you can build a fire, you’ll need firewood. Gather a bunch
of dry, chopped lumber and start laying the pieces down. Place the biggest
pieces on the bottom, and then lay down another layer in a perpendicular
direction. You can then continue to build up layers of firewood, being
sure to use progressively smaller pieces of lumber as you go. Once you’re
done, you can light the tinder at the top and enjoy a cleaner and more
efficient fire.
