I found it easier to buy a bag of self light charcoal, cut an X the full size of the bag on one side. Put the bag into the fire box, with the X cut to the bottom side. Lift the bag just a little, to create a little opening under the charcoal itself. Light the bag.. Open your draft, and vent accordingly, so the charcoal burns. After about 10 minutes of burning, I will add some coal. Make sure you do not add too much coal too fast.. After you get some coal burning, slowly add more, and more..
Yes, this is an older model, so I can legally burn wood in it, if I would want to. I prefer to burn coal. You ask how I light my coal fire? I buy a bag of easy light charcoal, put the whole bag into the stove, and light the bag. When the charcoal gets burning, and is red hot, I then add some coal, and slowly build the coal up, until I have a full coal fire going. Very little smoke, and very easy to do.
