If you have only a few pieces of paper to burn, consider using a tub. Set a pile of papers over a tub, and then light one corner. The water will capture any embers that fall and prevent them from catching the grass or tree on fire. If you are concerned about the smell of burning paper, put a bowl full of baking soda or vinegar nearby to neutralize the odors.

Start with a base of small twigs, or newspaper that has been shredded. This will ensure that the paper burns correctly. Then, add 3-4 medium-sized wood logs to the fire and allow them to start to burn. Then, place the paper on top of the burning tinder. The paper will burn fast and you must watch the fire closely.

It is best to burn your papers outside on a day when there isn't any wind. A strong wind gust could blow embers onto your property or into the grass. Furthermore, the smoke of burning papers could cause breathing issues when inhaled.

Make sure that the smoke alarms are in good in good condition and test them regularly. Installing carbon monoxide alarms can also save lives. They are also cost-effective.

Always keep a fire extinguisher within reach in the event of an emergency. Always burn only dry, seasoned, and dry logs and never build a stack of logs that are too big. Burning a pile of logs together results in incomplete combustion, which can lead to increased CO emissions. It is crucial to keep an eye on and control the fire. If it gets out of hand it must be put out immediately.

After you've used your stove, ensure that the fire is out and that all combustible materials have been removed from the area around the fireboxes and flue pipes.

To prevent smoke from escaping back into the room, you should take out combustible things like curtains and furniture. Also, you should install a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector in your shed wood burner. Additionally, you should ensure there is sufficient ventilation in your shed.
