To keep your home safe from creating an unsafe environment, only burn clean paper in your wood burner.

Consider using a tub if you only have a small amount of paper to burn. Set a pile of papers over a tub and light one corner. The water will catch the embers and stop them from burning nearby trees or grass. If you're concerned about the smell, put a bowl of baking soda or vinegar around to neutralize it.

To make sure the paper burns correctly begin with a base of small twigs or newspaper that has been shredded. Add 3-4 medium-sized wood logs and let them burn. Next, layer the paper over the burning tinder. The paper will quickly burn, so it is important to be close by and watch the fire as it is burning.
