Speaker 4: I blame this on bad firewood, I couldn't get the
Speaker 4: fire going.
Speaker 3: Was it damp? It must have been damp.
Speaker 4: I think it was damp inside. So I bought the bags, yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, the one. I won't say the shop, but
Speaker 4: I got it from one of the big guys. Bought
Speaker 4: the bags, brought him home. Was going to vibe out

Speaker 4: had to keep sitting there.
Speaker 3: Blowing on the fire your firelighters. I went through kindling.
Speaker 4: I went through pretty much a whole packet of those red.
Speaker 3: Heads, twenty of those.
Speaker 4: But I couldn't just get the kinddling.
Speaker 2: What system are you using bigger logs at the base
Speaker 2: or you're doing an inverse one with a big at
Speaker 2: the top kindling.
Speaker 3: At the bottoms.
Speaker 4: I even go kindling at the bottom and don't even
Speaker 4: put on my big logs yet. So I'm just trying
Speaker 4: to get the.
Speaker 2: Can I make a recommendation tonight? Someone taught me this
Speaker 2: big logs at the bottom, kindling on top the upside
Speaker 2: down from called the inverse five.

Speaker 2: It works so much quicker even with it burns down,
Speaker 2: And well we should be to do it with damp works, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because you got the kindling.
Speaker 3: The kindling.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if it's a little bit damp, because
