Got a Fire, Finally
by jultho on Dec.03, 2009,under Home Ownership
Well, it took three tries but I finally got a decent fire. Disappointed I didn't have a love one to share it with. OTHOH, I did try a romantic fire, several years ago. But firemen showing up because I set of the fire alarm just doesn't do it for a date.
It took three tries. The fire one never got going. I had the fire grate upside down. Corrected that little error and made attempt two. It made a good show and just fizzled out.
Try three yielded much better results. I loosely followed the steps as outline by the blog of Tim Ferriss. It worked out pretty good. Oh and I removed that pesky grate.
My one disappointment with the fire was a lack of heat. I remember when I was a kid the fires where very warm. We sat across the room from the fireplace and the whole room was very warm. I got heat near the fire... but not much in the room. Will have to try it again.
Take care.
