For lighting a fire, you will need a log. To obtain these, you have to use your woodcutting skill which is detailed in the woodcutting guide

To light a log you need a tinderbox, which looks like this:


Use the tinderbox on the log in your inventory, no need to drop the log first. Your character will then try to light the log if his or hers firemaking level is high enough. The higher your level is, the fewer tries you need to light the log.

Different Logs In Firemaking

Regular 1 40
Oak 15 60
Willow 30 90
Maple 45 135
Yew 60 202.5
Magic 75 303
The burn time of your fire is affected by the type of log you use. Higher valued logs burn for longer periods of time. An additional 15 seconds is added to the burn time for each higher grade of logs (example: Willow logs will burn 30 seconds longer than Regular logs). Below is a table with the recommended levels when you should stop and start burning specific logs.
