Two inches of Diesel in a plastic 5 Gal. bucket, Diesel mixed with used any kind of oil, small amt. Put your kindling upside down until bucket is full of small wood. Soaks into the wood for later use. Wonderful fire starter.
Notice how quick the flame goes out? That may look cool with lots of flame bur would take alot of fuel to get a fire going.
My stove has enough draft that some wadded up newspaper and some dry pine kindling will get it going in no time. Birch bark will really get it going.Im not a fan of burning oil or fuel inside my woodstove. A cleaner approach is white birch bark, pine cones, and cotton balls.
