What happens here

Begin by lighting small pieces of kindling and paper to establish a base fire. Once the kindling is burning steadily, carefully add larger pieces of seasoned firewood to the stove. This process warms the shop for the day's activities. Use a metal poker to adjust the logs as needed to ensure good airflow and a strong burn.

Goal: Start and maintain a wood stove to heat the shop.
