Colorful Colorado
Where we experience the orange glow of a chimney fire often enough. We burn a LOT of pine here. There are not a lot of options.
Also: I learned that the human being is nine times more susceptible to rumor than it is to fact. As correctly stated, temperature is the key. Keep it HOT
As for "firestarter", consider what I have used:
cardboard/paper
twigs and splitter splatter (little chunks)
Used motor oil
Paint thinner
WD 40 (lubes the damper on the way by)
Propane
Oxy/acetylene
Compressed air
Plastic bottles and other burnable stuff
Feel free to print this out and hand it to your BIL.
