How to Use Fire Starting Sticks

Hi, I'm Bobby on behalf of Expert Village. In this series I am going to show you several different ways that you could easily light a fire within your fireplace and I am going to show you several safety techniques and things that you need to be aware of when lighting a fire in your house. So we talked about kindling there for a minute but if you don't happen to have kindling and sometimes kindling is even a little hard to light. You can pick up these mini pieces of firewood and they come in different sizes. I've seen some that were just real tiny, a little ball of the artificial firewood. This particular one is just like the larger pieces of firewood, larger fake pieces of firewood. You just open it on the ends and you light either end right there in the fireplace. With this one, you will want to light it and then surround it with the firewood that you are going to burn. What this will do will burn for about 30 minutes, long enough to get the larger pieces of firewood going.
