Before You Start
This method works for the stoves in Llechwedd Glamping, the Barlwyd Huts, and the Barlwyd Wilderness Sauna.
Firelighters, matches, and your first bundle of logs will ready for you to use in your accommodation.
You can add extra logs to your booking via our pre-arrival extras, or simply buy more by calling reception. If you prefer to bring your own wood, keep in mind that the stoves are quite compact. You will need smaller logs. Long-burn wood briquettes are also a great option.
Build the Fire
Place one or two firelighters in the centre of the empty stove with the wood shavings.
Arrange your kindling (the small sticks) in a teepee shape around the firelighters. Make sure to leave some gaps so air can flow through easily.
Add two to four small logs. You can continue the teepee shape, crisscross them, or place them in front of and behind the kindling.
Light the Fire
Light the firelighters at the bottom.
Leave the stove door slightly ajar at first. This lets air pull through to help the kindling catch fire.
Let it burn like this for a few minutes until you have a strong, bright base of flames, and then you can fully close the stove door.
Maintain The Fire
Wait until those first small logs are burning well before adding anything else.
Gradually add your larger logs one at a time as the fire builds.
Keep an eye on the flames and simply add another log whenever the fire starts to die down to keep your space warm and cosy.
