how to start a fire
first, inspect the wood for wood-ness and dry-ness. lots of both.

second, stack one or two pieces in the fireplace with some newspaper or tiny sticks/kindling underneath.
third, light it on fire!!!!! it might take more than one match. patience is important.

fourth, remember to check to make sure the flue (aka vent at top) is open. don’t want a smokey house!

fifth, relax and enjoy the nice warm fire. or jump around like maniac. your choice.

Remember: fire is dangerous and not for touching.
DONE!
