Thants it, give it a try. Happy Holidays I normally add fire very quickly by following this procedure.

Of course, it's usually a lot easier to just light a scrunched up ball of newspaper placed ontop of the logs in the fireplace to begin with.

Here in Orange County, Ca. many of the top real estate photographers have fires burning in the fireplaces and also candles and outside fire pits. The fire makes the photos really pop when compared to other photos with no fire. I can't believe how easy it is and I thank you again. Hi Larry,
