  • Is it not difficult to stack the logs in such a way that they are not ignited prematurely by the candle?

  • Not even a tiny bit. Logs require direct flame for several minutes before igniting. I've had logs ABOVE the candle and they still don't get going until the firelighter and the lampoil ignite.

  • I have shared this with some wood burning friends!

    You are indeed ingenious!

    Out of curiosity how much do you pay for the

    hardwood?

    Did you say 4,000.00 for the stove? Is that 8,000

    Canadian?

  • The stove, chimney and installation cost about €4,500 ... not sure what that is canadian. Our stove is a contura 560T, google that.

  • I spend between €200 and €400 per year on wood, mostly birch.

  • couldnt you just get an electrically timer fire lighter ?

  • Dude, I looked EVERY where for similar devices. Firstly, what we are talking about is basically an incendiary device. A kind of bomb. Think Belfast in the 1980's.

    Secondly, it either has to be robust enough to withstand 400° for several hours, or cheap enough to be completely disposable. Granted, when you are intermittently burning down the occasional department store, this is not a problem, but when starting a fire every day for 90 days in the year, it is:-)

  • Euro is doing really well now. I ought to be able to buy this for 2 or 3 $ US.

  • Brilliant !, I love the way you think !

  • Ingenius, a man after my own heart!.

    I also have some pretty kool stuff that I have done over the years to solve problems using very simple principals. I might well make a video about em.

    Thanks for the idea!! ;p

  • If you chop your own wood you'll be sweating so much you won't need to light the stove.

  • Save Ferris Bueller!
