How to light a peat fire with peat briquettes:
To light a peat fire with peat briquettes, follow these steps:
Ensure you have a suitable fireplace or stove for burning peat. Peat fires produce a lot of smoke and may not be suitable for all environments.
Open the damper or air vents on the stove or fireplace to ensure proper ventilation.
Place a layer of kindling or small pieces of dry wood on the bottom of the firebox.
Place a few peat briquettes on top of the kindling, ensuring that they are evenly spaced.
Light the kindling with a match or lighter.
Once the kindling has caught fire, add more peat briquettes on top of the burning kindling. Be careful not to smother the flames with too much peat at once.
Allow the fire to burn for a few minutes until the peat briquettes have caught fire and are burning steadily.
Once the peat briquettes are burning well, add more as needed to maintain the fire. Remember to allow for proper ventilation to prevent excessive smoke buildup.
Enjoy the warmth and cozy atmosphere of your peat fire!
