Question:

What is the best way to start a fire for a copper fire pit?

I have just purchased a copper fire pit on a wrought iron stand. I am wanting to not only use it for a camp fire but to roast hot dogs and marshmallows on. I know the fire logs that can purchased are convenient but can‘t be cooked with because of how they are treated. I am a single mom new to this fire starting thing. Can someone please tell me how to get a good fire started in a fire pit and keep the flame going?Thanks!

Answer:

replace the axle, axles usually bend when they are in a situation when the hub is not sitting flush on the axle, loose bearings, loose bushings, this with a combination of hard impacts.
I just learned to lay a fire in my chimnea and it can't be much different - it's really super easy. I lay mine ahead and just light the match when I'm ready for it- first crumple up several sheets of newspaper, lay some twigs on top and a small piece of wood lightly braced on top (it needs air to burn). It'll take right off with one match if you lay it right - smallest stuff closest to the paper and always allow room for air. when the small piece of wood is burning gently prop larger pieces on it (again allowing for air movement). I was never a girl scout but am happy to show my granddaughter Gramma knows how to lay a fire :-)
