How To Build A Top-Down Fire

By Trent Simmons • April 21, 2025
This blog post from Top Hat Chimney Sweeps advocates for building fires using the top-down (or upside-down) method. It explains that this technique involves layering large logs at the bottom, followed by medium pieces, and topping it off with kindling and a fire starter. The post highlights the numerous benefits of this approach, including a cleaner burn with significantly less smoke and creosote, longer and more consistent heat output, easier ignition, reduced flare-ups, and more efficient fuel use. Top Hat Chimney Sweeps emphasizes that this method contributes to chimney safety and a cleaner environment, encouraging readers to try it and reminding them of their chimney service expertise.
