This will create
thestrongdraft which is needed to ignite the fire.
Now light'the kindling and when
it is burning freely, slowly' acfd -
more coal. The kyndling will', ignite
the fresh coal both above and below
it; and you can then add more coal ,
and thus quickly build up a good
deep fire.
Occasionally you may find, when
the kindling wood begins to burn,’
that smoke starts coming out .
/through the crevices around the .
furnace doors. This is due to the
fact-that the chimney, being cold,
I does not provide sufficient draft
i to carry off the smoke. This con
