It turns out it was extremely easy. Especially because we used a firestarter log that we had lying around from the former tenants. It lit right up, and we had a blazing fire all night. I even properly used the flu to dampen the fire down when appropriate and put it out when we went to bed. I was very proud of myself. And look how lovely our fireplace is!! It was super warm and cozy too.
Does anybody know where to buy firewood in small apartment-sized bundles? I want to try this again!

I'd use the synthetic ones, you get at the home stores, they usually last for quite a few hours, burn fairly clean...
Umn.. Around here you can get it at lumber yards and 7-11
I've seen small bundles at the grocery stores. But, as Eric says, the fake ones burn much cleaner.
Just curious, does your fireplace actually put out heat? After last year's windstorm, we learned that ours stinks at warming us up!
