Aardwolfe,

Glad we could help...

Another tip : self-feeding fireplace...

With rocks, you can make some sort of a V shape that points to your bed of coals. You pile up the wood there, and as it burn it collapses and rolls toward the middle, keeping the fire fed for a long while.

The more air you put in, the faster it burns... You need a minimum, of course, but if you have too much air intake, you'll just waste wood.

Just my humble 2 cents...

Cheers,

David
