What do you use to light your wood burning stove?

All of the above. 

Paper from the recycle (till reciepts)

birch bark - yes

and back up happy shopper fire lighters

all with pallet kindling (produced by GenSet Steve)

 

Try to be low impact and green ...try to do that burning wood rather than heating oil.

Ah build a inner firebox outta bits selected from the log box(=a cardboard supermarket fruit box), than a couple o handfuls of scrumpled up newspaper, an a match, an sit, for a very few minutes  and coddle the instant inferno with the draught from the just cracked open door.

Foolproof, mind you with 10 or 12m of flue that catches our praviling wind, it would be harder to fail to light the dry conifer I burn.

I buy firelighters in bulk off ebay and use half a firelighter and some very dry leylandii to light it. Chuck it all in, light it and walk away. never fails.

 

My missus uses about three boxes of firelighters and two of the biggest smoothest logs she can find. Puts the boxes of firelighters on top of the logs and sits by the fire blowing on it. Repeat until it lights, usually the fourth go or until I come in and bollock her for being so thick.
