Apparently I suck at fireplace fires!!! I set the smoke detectors off three times and the dogs were barking and kids were screaming, but V's house is still standing!

:willy_nilly::willy_nilly::willy_nilly:

Well that's a a good thing!

 

[Guyzerr]

Did you open the damper?

 

[RedRyder]

Oh my!

I have loads of experience with fires. I've always been a sort of firebug.

.... and ummmm.. yeah..... what Guyzerr asked.

 

[Jersey]

Errmmm it was already open... I just suck at this! LOL

 

[RedRyder]

You've got to have a good draft to get the smoke to go up and out to begin with. If you just let the logs smolder or burn slowly..... that might be a cause of smoke getting into the room. Use lots of kindling.

 

[Jersey]

Yeah... I shut the doors on the fireplace and let it die!!!

 

[RedRyder]

Awwww...... Don't give up. Have V show you how she does it.

My problem isn't smoke so much as it is making the place so damn hot that I end up opening windows and doors! LOL!

 

[Jersey]

V's not here at the moment

 

[Guyzerr]

You gotta start a bit of a fire to create a draft. Light a sheet of newspaper or two to create an updraft. Then light the kindling. You are using decent kindling aren't you?

 

[Guyzerr]

V's not here at the moment

You don't need V. :24: You can do this.

 

[Guyzerr]

Awwww...... Don't give up. Have V show you how she does it.

Do not... I repeat ... do not stoke it so much.

[Jersey]

Nope, fire is out and the house is still standing!!

 

[Veronica]

LOL!! I came home to my house being in one piece.. but still smelly! LOL I love my jersey girl!

 

[RedRyder]

Do not... I repeat ... do not stoke it so much.

Stoke? All I do is load that baby up with wood and chuck it full with kindling and ignite it. Then I keep adding wood as needed. Or when it gets too hot..... when not needed too.
