For large grates, use a 9 inch diameter log (6 inch diameter log for small grates) that's at least twelve inches in length on the lower log rests, in the rear of the firebox. |
 |
 |
Add paper, kindling and smaller pieces of wood in front of the log and rotate the upper log rest in to secure it. Next add a 6" or 4" log on top of the upper log rest leaning diagonally on the large log below. |
 |
 |
Light the fire, when the kindling in front burns down, simply rotate the upper rests away allowing the upper log (6 inch or 4 inch) to drop and replace the kindling. |
 |
 |
Replace the upper rests again and place a new log on top to continue the cycle. |
 |
 |
When the large log burns down, pull the coals forward and replace with another log to continue the radiant heat benefits of the grate. |
