How to Build a Fire in a Fireplace : How to Start a Fire in a Fireplace

[Patcholunu]

This vid hides a few cheats... The log placed on top has been moved back at 1.43 (viz 1.32) and there is more kindling under the fire-rack / basket. Placing the log on top would choke the kindling and not allow the temperature to get high enough for that big log. And the flames from the kindling underneath (added off film) are keeping the gases alight. You're not an expert if you need to change things off camera.

Why to learn how to start a fire you just start it most people now how just pout small woods then bigger then bigger and the bigger it's not a thing that should be taught

[futuristfood2]

good ol' expert village,. 6 videos to show one damn thing,. hits galore! they no fools,. lol

[kennylauderdale]

Ok. I see people saying some mean unnessesary things. I think you guys should post and show how it's done. If the fire lit in a couple easy steps, how is it done better? In one step? IJS

[kushasaures]

I'ma try this.... ;)

[summergirl180]

lol what a loser. youre not supposed to "lock the heat in" your supposed to allow air to flow through there, and not lay the pieces of wood directly on top of each other cuzz there wont be air flow... im a 15 year old girl and i know how to make fires better than this guy.

[Robwintrip]

this is a prety disapionting video, starting fires are extremely easy, and this is not a very good method.... it also seemed very odd how the flames started up like that...ever placed fire next to a large piece of wood?...it takes ages to light... but this one goes strate up...not convinced, best way is simple old flint, very dry old twigs, then build it up larger to a final nice fire.

[TheMrpalid]

That doesn't work at all. We don't see what happened in between the time the soft wood was lit till the time wthe blazing fire began. This doesn't work at all

[moe354sa]

the best way to start a fire is with a blowtorch,, you dont need kindling..

[mrbioky]

this guy is dumb as fuck!

[aluminumgod1]

You guys rock! good response to this.I bet it was fat wood strips. City boy!

The first thing you might want to do is check and make sure the chimne flew is open.

[chainlinkdreams]

Youtube=new Boy Scouts!

[Moppin919]

this is shit

[Vanillablooos]

Newspaper makes a mess? It supposed to! The ashes from the wood makes a mess as well!! Gee wiz!!!

[xcallx911xxxx]

this was the worst guide ever my 8 year old could do this.

[HDizzle7]

yeah im really not thinking so... Ive tried a million things n this isnt going to work, I already know that. God Bless me with the talent to make a decent fire!? lol

[fibiger12]

whats all that anoying text doing on the screen ????

[EnergyDog23]

You NEED to put paper in there, it wont start very good without it..

[ChainSaw771]

Just pour gas all over it and get a lighter.. there, instant fire..

[dougbross1]

@ChainSaw771 yeah in you're whole house doumbass

[WEEZYWONDERLAND]

@dougbross1 LOL

[ChainSaw771]

@dougbross1 I'm pretty sure you are the "doumbass", dumbass...

[kempsy]

Sure this method is all well and good for shitty pine wood, but for realy hard woods like red Iron bark it would be useless lol...

[harwoodkp]

My fire starters would make it very easy for you to start your fire. Havve a great day.

[kikkeruddabut]

what!? newspaper doesn't burn very well????? uh yea it does...idiot

[jmkoser]

@kikkeruddabut

he says it doesn't burn very long, idiot. and that it makes a mess.

[JAWZxz]

IMA Show ya several safety techniques...

[billy4960]

Theres totally nothing wrong with using a little newspaper in there.For what hes doing to work you have to have super bone dry thin wood kindling! Then its slow.Actually a small piece of plain cardboard will set it off fast and cleanly.Also a small amount of used cooking oil put it in a old dishwashing bottle and put some on the wood like he did and light the kindling works great and if you smell it it smells like your cooking something.Its used in diesel engines smell like french fries cooking

[skullleader007]

To add what Bobby said about using paper please make sure to watch what kind of paper you use. Some kinds of paper cause much more or thicker smoke then what would normally roll up your chimney stack. I've seen people use cardboad box scraps as an example and wonder why their is so much smoke in their house not going up the chimney. Paper is cheaper but very messy

[gamerdood1000]

thanks for the video

[afreeman]

This method worked great for me. Had 4 firewood failures, this mechanism worked very well. Thanks very much not only for the video, but especially for having it captioned.

[EzrinJem2]

Forget lighting a fire. How about learning to speak proper English?? "Imma show ya...", "Imma gonna", etc. For Pete's sake! It's "I'm going to show you" or "I am going to..."

[henrymets97]

This method doesn't work. I tried it several times and found it is better to make a small stack of kindling, under a few logs. Then put newspaper under the whole thing and light it.  Works like a charm!

[skullleader007]

@henrymets97 This method does work and your post just confirms so. By you putting the kindling under the whole thing is no different then Bobby adding the last piece of wood to the top and lighting the fire.

[topguntin]

@henrymets97 he probably used mayan sticks. they are sticks soaked with wax.

[9756s]

this guy has made my winter much better. hes also a douchebag and should light the kindling inside of his mouth. and also, the person that said to burn bibles is going to HELL. GO JESUS WOOOOOO

[seegerts15]

Or you can scrape kindling off a piece of log.

[soccerboy926]

i tried using weeds to light them up and it didnt work for shit

no matter how hard i tried to light the fire today it would work

[EzrinJem2]

@soccerboy926 Dude, you're supposed the light the weeds and smoke 'em!

[twilight1ify]

That's a great way to light a fire. my fire lite up super fast!! and your right about paper. and dont listen to the person who said to burn your bibles!! GO JESUS

[Arteolike]

Go twilight1ify i am with you. WHOO

[younitehumanity]

Good fire...now you can burn your bibles in there.

[trouz69]

He could spend his life bashing people in anonymous comments on youtube... oh wait, you've already cornered the marked on that.

I personally found this video, and all your videos, very helpful in stating my first fire in my new home. Thanks Bobby.

[alexsuchapimp]

If this is your way of coming out, you did a good job of it faggot.

[fshabazz]

Just as I was thinking, "think I'll use paper for my kindling" he said "no paper"!!!
