If you are in the mood to sit around your cozy fireplace with a blanket, good book, and glass of wine but are impatient for the heat of the fire to warm you, you can get the fire started quickly by tossing about 2 tablespoons if sugar on the logs before you carefully light them. The sucrose in sugar make it flammable and the granules will burn off very easily so there won’t be a sticky mess leftover.
