Apologies if this has been asked before .....
Must admit I have always used the Down/Top method of lighting my Wood Burner, but now after reading `Norwegian Wood` by Lars Mytting, I reckon the Top/Down method makes more sense as it heats the flue up quicker & reduces smoke coming into the room when the wood burner door is opened during lighting & loading wood + stops unnecessary smoke going into the atmosphere, resulting in less pollution. I never thought about lighting the fire this way, so I`m going to try this when I next light my fire to see if Lars is indeed right .... what do you folks do?
