so until my landlord buys me a new furnace, I have to use the fireplace. Any advice on how to start it fast and hot? Dec 27, 18:43
Steal dry newspapers from recycling, roll them the long way, and tie them in overhand knots, then light the ends. Dec 27, 23:21
Roll up the newspaper real tight the size of a small log - it burn alot longer and will get the other logs started {nm} Dec 28, 15:13

Propane Torch. This is one way to deal with firewood that is still kind of wet. Dec 29, 23:35
