How to Use

  1. Establish Base Fire: Create a good fire bed using kindling and firelighters
  2. Wait for Hot Embers: Allow the base fire to burn down to hot embers before adding Ovals
  3. Add Ovals Gradually: Place 4-6 Homefire Ovals on the hot embers
  4. Arrange for Airflow: Position the Ovals to allow air circulation between them
  5. Let Them Ignite: Wait for the Ovals to catch fire (they may glow rather than flame initially)
  6. Add More as Needed: Once burning well, add additional Ovals to maintain heat
  7. For Overnight Burning: Bank up the fire with Ovals before bedtime for sustained warmth

Always follow your appliance manufacturer's guidelines and ensure proper ventilation when burning any solid fuel.
