Yesterday was drizzly, chilly and windy - the perfect day for a fire. I had plenty of newspaper but no good kindling - just some splitter trash from two weeks ago. So, I picked up a couple of handsfull of the thin splitter trash and brought it inside. Placed a couple of 2" to 3" almost seasoned splits facing N/S in the stove and situated a quarter of a Super Cedar about midway between the two and 1/3 way toward the back of the stove. Placed some of the splitter trash facing E/W on top of the splits and alternated two more layers of splitter trash on top of those. Left about 2" of clearance between the various pieces of splitter trash so the flames had room to move and grow.
I wasn't certain how or if the partially dry splitter trash would ignite. Only one way to find out. Put a match to the Super Cedar and in about two seconds it had a nice blue and yellow flame growing at the corner. In about two minutes the splitter trash was in flames and the Super Cedar continued to burn. Added a few pieces of 1" to 2" kindling on top of that and in about 5 minutes I had a good fire going. Added a couple larger pieces of cookies, chunks and splitter trash during the afternoon and enjoyed a comfortable fire well into the evening.
Well done, Super Cedar, and thank you Thomas for an excellent product at a fair price. John_M
