Recently been using B&B fatwood with a plumbers torch. Out in the fields another story but I'm kinda likiing this for convenience. What do you guys use? Tumbleweeds? Newspaper? Fluid? I've been done with fluid for a while now. Only use it to burn brush. last year, I had a lightning killed pine tree taken down in my back yard. I had the guy leave a tall stump, as it turned out to be solid lighter, or fat wood. Yesterday I trimmed off another chunk to cut up into sticks. I figure I have a life time supply. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/w5h2ZmP.jpg)

Pine in a BBQ pit???? I would think that would be a mistake, soot up your pit, food taste like pine????
I don’t think you are supposed to you pine in a fireplace???

Pine is fine as firewood, it just burns faster.
The small amount needed to start charcoal, if it burns off, should not give a pine taste.

Used to make charcoal chimneys from buckets. Now I just buy one.

A buddy of mine from Florida brought a 5' piece of "lighternaught" or "fat wood" , about 6" in diameter, back to me in South Texas. Said he found it in a swamp from a fallen pine tree and that they used it to start fires with , rain or shine! I was skeptical but it works to perfection and takes very little to start a big fire. As of today (3 years later) I still have about a 2' section of it left. Good stuff

Oh, that looks perfect.

Since I don't take the fakenewspaper any more, I use two of these underneath a metal charcoal chimney. Less mess than the newspaper too. https://www.amazon.com/Weber-7417-Lighter-Cubes/dp/B001AN7RGG/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2Y4AKG1N7XM8O&keywords=charcoal+starter+cubes&qid=1549995723&s=gateway&sprefix=charcoal+star%2Caps%2C220&sr=8-3

We try to get a couple truck bed loads of fat lighter each year off the property. My buddy took a kid out wanting some extra spending money and let him get some. Kid chopped it up and made little bundles of kindling to sell. Kid cleared about 300 bucks.
