Default Drying paper briquettes

Maybe you could use a shed or garage if you had them! Years ago in the good old days when I had an open fire, I lit it the way my mum always did:

1. Clean out fireplace, save the cinders, throw ash away
2. Place cinders back into the bottom of the grate
3. Add a firelighter or two
4. Twist newspapers up good and tight & place on top of cinders & firelighters
5. Add a few sticks of dry/seasoned wood if available
6. Light the firelighters
7. Nurse the beast and Pray!!
