“We have come a long way since rubbing sticks together to light our fires. Unfortunately, the lessons our cavemen ancestors learned are being forgotten in the wake of the central heating system. The return to the open grate and open fires is a welcome trend but the gap since the war has resulted in the rapid disappearance of our fire lighting knowledge. I have gathered together all available information and experience to produce this simple guide for all those starting out with any type of woodburning fire.” - Arthur Howell
