The heating system can keep the cottage quite cosy and warm. If you wish to enjoy a nice fire, you should find a small stash of wood and starter supplies around the ground floor stove. Allow the fire to die down before you leave or go to bed. Please keep children away.

We found the easiest way to get a good fire going is as follows

1. Open the flue with the lever at the top right of the stove to about half way

2. Open the air vent all the way by rotating the round dial at the bottom of the door full right toward the open circle icon

3. Build a cone of fire wood with the smallest pieces at the bottom and larger pieces leaning together or crosswise at the top. Ensure there is plenty of space for air to flow around the logs

4. Place the starter at the very bottom and light it with a match

5. The small pieces should burn quickly and ignite the larger pieces above in a short while

6. Close and latch the door when you’ve finished tending the fire and adjust the airflow as needed

To extinguish, simply close the flue and air vent by moving them all the way to the left. The fire will die down as it is starved of oxygen.

If you want more firewood, the local grocery stores and DIY stores often sell bags.
