3-hour-long fireplace Youtube video no more.
Now that you've cleared any ash out of your fireplace—right?—it's time to prime the flue so that you don't end up with a house full of smoke.
Priming the flue really just means replacing the heavy cold air in your chimney with lighter warm air before starting a fire —which is too suddenly hot to ease the cold air out—and is especially important if your chimney is built on the outside of the house. To do so, roll up a piece of newspaper into a stick shape, light one end of it with a match, and hold it way up towards thedamper. Repeat this until you feel the flow of air reversing, as the warm air starts getting sucked up the chimney.
