The model always must work with the door closed.7.- Wait until the kindling is burning well and then add progressively larger pieces of wood.8.- Follow the instructions below on regulating the fire.

Iz trajnog vremena koje koristite sam pretpostavila da je u pitanju održavanje već zapaljene vatre

starting
Ne znam kakav je kontekst u smislu rečenica pre i posle, ali po semantici mogu da zaključim da glagol koji jeste nesvršeni, ovde označava učestalost tj ponavljanje, a ne trajnost radnje. Prvo jer sam prefiks POTpaliti označava samo početak radnje (paljenje vatre), koji se kao takav verovatno više puta ponavlja. A drugo i bitnije, luč je sitno drvo koje služi samo za potpalu, tj. ono što je u engleskom „starting a fire”, ne i za održavanje vatre. Hepo kockicka, drugim rečima :)
