Burning logs is one of the fastest ways to train Firemaking. The best place to do this is at the eastern part of the [[Grand Exchange]]. The area has a lot of empty space and the bank is only one tile away from an area a log can be burned. When correctly timed, the player can move to another square in between lighting the logs, which allows the player to burn the logs in any formation. With fast enough banking and accurate clicks, it is possible to keep lighting the logs tick-perfectly every 4 ticks. Having noted logs in the inventory and unnoting them at the banker is recommended over using the bank interface.

An easier but a slower method is to simply burn logs in a row from east to west. The best place to do this is at [[Varrock]]: use [[Varrock Teleport]], light the logs from the fountain and bank at the [[Varrock west bank]]. Alternatively, players can use [[Camelot Teleport]] and bank at [[Seers' Village]].

The table below assumes 1,485 logs are burned per hour. Colored logs offer the fastest [[experience]] up to level 35 as there is a high chance of failing to light the other logs at these levels.

==Other methods==
===Levels 1–99: Burning logs on a campfire===
Burning logs on a [[Forester's Campfire|forester's campfire]] is a low-effort alternative to the faster methods. Choose a location where a campfire can be lit right next to a bank, such as the [[Grand Exchange]], [[Rogues' Den]], or the [[Crafting Guild]]. Players gain one-third of the experience compared to burning logs normally. As such, this method can be fairly expensive. Burning an inventory of logs takes around 60–80 seconds depending on the log type.

Experience rates and costs are shown in the table below. The experience rates assume 1,400 logs burned per hour.

===Levels 1–50: Creating pyre logs===
{{Obsolete|As of 31 July 2024 update you are now forced to use a make-all interface, drastically decreasing exp rates|update=Update:QoL Improvements & Further Deadman: Armageddon Tweaks}}
Creating [[pyre logs]] is a relatively fast but click-intensive alternative to burning logs at lower levels. This is done by using [[sacred oil]] on logs, which requires completion of the [[Shades of Mort'ton]] [[quest]]. Pyre logs can be created at level 1, even if the logs would require a higher level to burn. Using sacred oil on logs does not have any in-game delay, and thus the creating speed is tied to the click speed.

Experience rates vary depending on click speed and accuracy. Players can gain around 55,000 experience per hour with typical click speeds, including banking and given that one pyre log is made per tick (0.6 seconds). It is possible to get much higher rates, but they realistically cap at around 80,000 experience per hour for fastest sustainable click speeds.

'''Note''': Prices may vary, and re-selling the pyre logs might prove difficult if demand is low. Check trade volume and actual prices in the [[Grand Exchange]] before using this method for profit.

===Levels 50–99: Wintertodt===
[[File:Burning brazier (Wintertodt).png|right|179x179px]]
Subduing [[Wintertodt]] from level 50 Firemaking onwards is a slower, but profitable and low-effort alternative to burning logs. It also grants passive [[Woodcutting]] experience from chopping the [[bruma root]]s, and the [[Pyromancer outfit]], which increases Firemaking experience by 2.5%.
The fastest way to gain Firemaking experience from Wintertodt is to be on an official World (307, 309, 311, 389), which have fast games that usually last around 4 minutes. Light a brazier as soon as the round starts, chop bruma roots until you have a full inventory and burn them in the brazier. Fix and relight the brazier if needed. Fletching the bruma roots into [[Bruma kindling|kindlings]] is only recommended when the player would not meet the 500-point mark for the extra experience gained at the end of the round. Otherwise, bruma roots should not be fletched into kindlings as this significantly hampers experience rates.

It is also very helpful to have the [[Hitpoints cape]] along with a [[regen bracelet]] to mitigate the damage dealt by the cold; with all these and using the [[Redemption]] prayer, at high Firemaking levels it is very likely that the players will not need any food to heal themselves.

Players can gain extra experience in between rounds by doing other activities during the downtime, such as burning logs, fletching [[dart]]s or making [[Jug of wine|jugs of wine]].

Experience rates scale depending on the player's level. It takes around 600 rounds and 50 hours (assuming an average kill length of 4 minutes and a 60 second pause) to get from level 50 to level 99 Firemaking if you fletch every log, and about 500 rounds and 40 hours if you do not.
