Description
Natural kindling firewood is material designed to ignite fires, mostly meant for a fireplace, wood stove, an outdoor fire pit, or campfires.
It involves the little, dry sticks of wood, which burn quite easily, rapid lighting and help start flames among larger logs. Here are key things to know about natural kindling firewood.
### Features:
1. **Size**: small sticks, twigs, or thin splits, usually less than 1 inch in diameter.
2. **Dryness**: It must be completely dry to ignite fast and burn well.
3. **Natural Material**: Softwoods such as pine and cedar can be used in the creation of the kindling since they contain resins that will cause them to burn faster.
4. **Chemical-Free and Non-treated:** Chemical and non-treated for good burning.
### Sources of Natural Kindling:
1. **Split Wood**: Splinters or shavings from larger logs.
2. **Downed Branches**: Break up small sticks and branches on your lawn or in any nearby woods.
3. **Fatwood**: Resinous pine tree wood, smothered in resin; thus, excellent as fire starters.
4. **Store-bought Bundles**:
Buy in-store, typically found at hardware or outdoor supply stores.
### Use the Following Steps:
1. Build your kindling by setting it in a teepee configuration or an ‘X’ formation to allow air to flow around the material more effectively.
2. Put natural fire starters like dry leaves, bark, or paper under the kindling for quick and easy burning.
3. Keep off from damp or green wood because it is difficult to light and also produces a lot of smoke.
