This video is for a Clydesdales and I have to say it's about 98% how I do it and I have a fool proof method which includes a 1/4 to a 1/2 of a Super Cedar. I use bio bricks as the bottom layer of my start up fires, as they are guaranteed to be 100% dry and they light easily, but otherwise this video is spot on. They even make the little rut down the middle of the ash pile...
