HOW TO USE THE FIREPLACE

Before you use the fireplace
Before using the fireplace, please read these instructions. Thank you.
Fire starter baskets
We have assembled a fire starter basket for you. It contains everything you need to start a fire including fire wood, kindling, fire starter sticks, matches and paper.
Assemble combustibles and ignite
Open a window to create airflow and ventilation. Use the damper handle to open damper. You can probably see daylight or feel outside air from the chimney when open. Use the flashlight on your phone to be sure. Assemble combustibles: under the grate, place wadded paper; over the grate, place kindling and fire starter sticks. Ignite the paper.
Add logs
Once combustibles are burning well, add logs one at a time. Do not overload the fireplace. Kivas are small and are meant for small, intimate fires.
Tend to the fire
Always place fire screen in front of fireplace when using the fireplace. Avoid placing hot poker on carpet and rugs. Never leave fire unattended. Make sure fire is out before leaving suite.
Extra firewood
Extra firewood is available in the courtyard.
Please be mindful
Firewood and fire starter supplies are limited. Use sparingly.
