Logger here to talk about starting your fire. What can be more frustrating than building your fire in your fireplace only to have it not start when you light it? There could be several reasons for this problem and one of them may be you’re using the wrong kindling.

Fatwood For Starting Your Fire
that is cut into approximately 8″ sticks that commonly comes from the pine tree. The fatwood is 100% natural and can be used to start things such as fireplaces, barbecues and campfires. It can never go bad. Since fatwood has a large amount of natural resin, even if it gets wet, it can still be lit.
The base of the pine tree collects resin. When the tree is cut down the stump retains all of the resin and becomes the perfect kind of wood for fatwood. Since the stump is a part of the tree that otherwise would not be used, making Fatwood from this source is an environmentally friendly way to use the stump. Traditionally fatwood was known as “Georgia fatwood” since the fatwood was harvested from the longleaf pine tree originally found in abundance in the southeastern United States. Today the longleaf pine is endangered and Fatwood is now being harvested internationally.
