Maybe you misunderstood, I start with paper just because it's easy to ignite
with a match (plus it saves filling up the paper bin!). I make a nice
stack, starting with paper and cardboard at the bottom, then gradually
bigger and bigger bits of wood on the stack. Then all I need to do is
ignite the paper at the bottom with a match for 2 seconds, and 5 minutes
later the whole lot is always burning very well.
