well, if you chimney sweep per the manufacturer's instructions it should be ok; but they sell orange oil gel for starting these types of stoves :-)

Not sure why people were upset butFat wood with alot of resin is what you should use. Thatll make whoever happy.

@oakdaletech

my grandma taught me to use the lint from the dryer and candle wax, i make them in egg cartons, i use them individually as fire starters with nothing covering them. really easy to make and store a bunch all at once.

@BattleReadyToaster..o_O

Use dryer lint. Burns great.

@jaydonjohnson7507

Maybe it’s burning the oxygen too fast. It’s in a pretty small place. As it burns. The co2 is displacing the air and making it hard to breathe. Toilet paper rolls are pretty easy to catch fire

@Spiethstar

a page or two of newspaper and some shavings from a planer on top. Then stack from small to large whatever you want to burn.
Just try to trap the heat so everything gets up to a high temperature more quickly and thus burn more quickly.

@packlost

compress more to burn longer, so the wood has a better chance to catch fire

@aragami_7616

if you want to do this sort of thing, dont put it in something that doesnt burn well or at least keep in mind why it doesnt burn well....
Cardboard like the toilet paper roll is very smooth, meaning it has a low surface area and very little small fibers that could catch fire. Additionally to that, it doesnt burn well anyways, because of how cardboard is made anyways.

either put it in something else than the toiletpaper-roll or use some more of that string to cut 2-5 pieces wich go through the entire thing and hang out on either side, so there is something to actually catch the inside tinder on fire.

Maybe use kindling. I ain’t never used no wax or anything fancy to light my fireplace or wood furnace. Pretty straight forward

@Trees001

Pack it with silver birch bark

@antoc9783

16 year old me screams in boy scout. You didn't add any tree sap to replace the wax of course it's not going to work "dry"

@ganglestank

What you’re missing is a fat or oil

@patricksober2023

wrap the old mans bread in birch bark.

@OutletVibes

Imagine claiming this was YOUR idea.. lol

@ppackrunner

Yup lets grab live and hydrated tree leaves and twigs instead of dead and dry branches

GOD THE VOCAL FRIES ARE UNBEARABLE, STOP IT
