How to Run an Overnight Burn

How to run an overnight burn.
One of the great parts to owning a fire place is lettings it burn overnight, heating up your home while you comfortably sleep at night. To perform such a burn, a few easy steps must be followed:
1. Get a fire going in your fire box starting with paper/ firelighters and kindling, start adding wood going from wood the size of your forearm, then bicep and then thigh. Once you have reached the end of this process and your flames are standing up tall, you are now ready to start preparing for an overnight burn.
2. For starters, turn the air intake on your fireplace to low for at least 30 minutes before adding anymore wood to reduce the temperature in the firebox.
3. Once the temperature drops and the flames slow down, insert as many large logs in your unit of possible making sure they are running front to back.
4. The morning after you can restart your fire with the embers from the night before. Just insert some kindling and a piece of wood about the size of your forearm and wait for the flames to catch again. If the embers are not enough then you may need to us some paper or firelighters.
