 Have everything nearby before lighting. A

 couple of handfuls of kindling will suffice.

 Use 2-3 firelighters cubes.

 Open both primary and secondary air

 inlets.

 Arrange several layers of kindling to

 create a lattice with plenty of air gaps.

 Light the firelighters and close the stove

 door.

 If the kindling does not take open the door

 to the ashpan to create a better draft.

 After 5-10 minutes there should be a

 decent bed of embers. Use a poker to

 spread them out evenly. Close the ashpan

 door.

 Place various sized logs over the embers

 to create a lattice again with plenty of air

 gaps between. Use several logs rather

 than one large log for best results. On top

 of the logs place briquettes of anthracite

 or other smokeless fuel to sustain the fire.

 Keep feeding the fire with more logs

 every 30-40 minutes mixed with pieces

 of smokeless fuel to prevent the fire

 from going out if you forget to add more

 logs. Regulary check the ashpan and

 don't let it over-fill blocking the air vent.
