Use vegetable oil as a fire lighter.
(lemmy.today)
I wouldn't burn anything greasy or oily in a wood burning stove. All that junk will end up accreting in the chimney pipe. Especially if you have a catalytic combustor. My wood stove user manual says don't burn anything but clean wood for this reason. A wad of paper and pile of kindling should get you going fine without burning oil in there.
I’m not talking about a cup of oil, just a tsp or so. Sometimes all our kindling etc is a little damp and stuff seems reluctant to get going. The oil or even an old tea-light paraffin candle helps it marvellously!
