"Hi, I'm Bobby on behalf of Expert Village. In this series I am going to show you several different ways that you could easily light a fire within your fireplace and I am going to show you several safety techniques and things that you need to be aware of when lighting a fire in your house.

This particular one is just like the larger pieces of firewood, larger fake pieces of firewood. You just open it on the ends and you light either end right there in the fireplace.

What this will do will burn for about 30 minutes, long enough to get the larger pieces of firewood going. "
