A gas log starter is a great way to get your fire going without having to use any kind of lighter fluid. There are a few different ways that you can use a gas log starter, but the most common way is to simply light it with a match.
First, you will need to find the gas valve on your fireplace. It is usually located near the bottom of the fireplace. Once you have found the gas valve, turn it to the on position. Then, take your matches and light the end of the gas log starter. Hold the flame to the end of the starter for about 30 seconds before moving on.
Next, place the end of the gas log starter into the center of your wood pile. Make sure that there are no gaps between pieces of wood so that all sides of each piece are touching the burner tube on the starter. If there are gaps, your fire will not start as easily. Finally, ignite your wood pile by lighting a match and holding it close to one end of the stack for about 30 seconds before moving on.
