Question

How do I light a fire in a wood burning fireplace and keep it burning?

Answer 1

Make a oxygen-accessible furnace by putting one big piece on one side, and a lot of small one leaning against it. Put a firelighter under it, so when you spark it, the construction will start burning. Use small sticks to keep it burning when you have a small fire, you can put heavier blocks on it. Make sure there is always enough oxygen.
