I've been using fatwood sticks that you buy for the last couple of years. When I can find it I bust up my own fatwood. Wondered what ya'll use, besides kindling and newspaper.
I just use a small 1/2" sq. piece of Starterlogg and lay it between two splits near the top of the load. I have to start a lot from scratch since I don't normally need a continuous burn and they are cheap, reliable and quick.
I use Rutland "Safe-Lite" Fire Starter Squares. They come in a box of 144 for about $13-$14. That's just under 10 cents each. It only takes one to start a fire. I usually get them at Ace Hardware, but it looks like TSC also carries them:
Rutland® Safe Lite™ Fire Starter Squares, Pack of 144 - 3198454 | Tractor Supply Company
Supercedars----take one round and quarter it---1/4 is plenty to get a fire ripping even with no kindling.
