VINCE THURKETTLE LIGHTING A FIRE AT HIS HOME IN GREAT HOCKHAM, NORFOLK.MR THURKETTLE HAS WORKED OUT THE FORMULA FOR A PERFECT FIRE. With temperatures in Britain expected to plummet to minus 7 this weekend, a woodsman has worked out a FORMULA for homeowners to make the perfect winter FIRE.As the UK faces its coldest winter for a century, Vincent Thurkettle, 57, has determined exactly how many logs, sticks and pieces of kindling are required to create the best blaze.His equation offers a simple solution to many householders who are turning back to the forest for their fuel with wood-burning stoves and open fires become increasingly popular."The formula for a perfect fire is, in many ways like preparing food, " said Vincent, from Norfolk."Anybody can set fire to a pile of wood and make it burn, but that is roughly the equivalent of a microwave meal, my equation offers an easy way to make a good fire, which people will enjoy."His ingredients for a perfect fire include 20 split hardwood logs, two large logs of English Oak, 16 hardwood sticks, which are three inches long and 20 kindling sticks, which are seven inches long.
