Default Lighting a woodburning stove

Our central heating is broken and so we're currently using our
woodburning stove.

I'd like it going when we get home, but don't want to run it all day.
Ideally, I want it to light a couple of hours before we get back in the
evening.

I can't find any gadgets to do it, and can't think how they'd work
anyway. My only idea so far is a long candle, lit in the morning, that
some hours later burns down enough to light the kindling.

Any better ideas welcomed!


Forget it.
