Yes, start with some bunched up newspaper under some dry, fine chopped kindling, and then apply some heavier kindling. Try to light the paper from several sides, to insure a good start.

Absolutely.

Sure do. I heated just with wood for several years.

Yep. We have a wood burning stove at our cabin and I've started it enough times to be more than a novice.

yes and if you use the heavy dark re-cycled log, you save money, keep your home warm for 12 hours straight without reloading and very little residue in a air tight wood stove. for each 12 hour run, it take 3 = 8 inch logs at $1.00 each at Mclendons in Sumner, Wa. 98390

YES GET A BLOCK FOR STARTING WITH A MATCH FROM YOUR GROCERY STORE IN THE FIRE LOG AREA. IT LOOKS LIKE A ICE CREAM SANDWICH IN SIZE. PLACE IT IN YOUR WOOD STOVE AND PLACE 2 DRY LOGS ON IT EVENLY. LIGHT THE BLOCK AND LET IT BURN FOR 3 MINUTES WITH THE DOOR OPEN, THEN CLOSE DOOR WITH AIR ENTERING SO THE WOOD HAD ENOUGH. 30 MINUTES LATER CLOSE IT UP TIGHT.
