Kindling is 3.75 lbs of split poplar at 15.5% moisture. It is stacked underneath road, unlike previous loads where it was first burned to
a coal bed. Because of the dimensioned lumber, the crib has slightly less height and there is just enough room to stack it on top of the
kindling.


Burn sequence.
