Dear Norbert

That is exactly how we were taught to build big fires when I was a teenage Boy Scout.

I think it was Prof Philip Lloyd who mentioned a document from the late 1800’s that mentions it for domestic fires.

Thanks

Just to add a somewhat random historical data point on the TLUD discussion:

Masonry Heater Association first published an article on top ignition for updraft batch burns in masonry heaters in 1991.
Here's my follow up article from 1992:

It has become a mainstream ignition method for wood stoves and fireplaces since then.
