I'm trying to figure out how to build a good fire quickly. I just switched from wood tee pee newspaper under to wood tee pee newspaper ON the grate. It worked great!

I was brought up using no grate. Grates weren't "fashionable" amoungst the mountain folk! Just a big ass fire place or wood stove, wad up the paper, throw the wood on & lite it.... WHOOSH and away we go-o-o-o. That was one biggassed house with no other heat source but a fireplace way up in the hills in a canyon of Southern California wa-a-a-a-y back when.......
