First Fire


Oddly we had to wait for a warm and sunny day to light our new woodburner for the first time so that we could open all the windows whilst the metal in the stove cured and any fumes burned off from the paint. 

After a few experiments we've discovered that a large dry pinecone or two makes an excellent firestarter and we've had some roaring blazes to warm us up since we overheated the living room with the first fire. 

Now we just need to work out how to keep the fire lit overnight so that we can stoke it up again on a cold morning.
