Matt;
That stuff might be a good substitute for newspaper, but not for kindling wood. It's too small to produce the coals that would be needed to get an actual piece of firewood going if your burning oak and such.
I was wrong with what i called it, just should have said firestarter, for thats what its meant for. to start kindling to start logs. my bad there.
Remember, you are paying yourself, what is your time worth?

Thanks for the advice. And the noodes are a lot more flammable, dont need a wick, they act as a wick. might do a combo of both, always willing to try something new. As for time, not really a big deal. i do this to fill in on rainy days and nights after work.
noodleing is easy,but used to cut big rounds down to easy handling size,imho noodling just to get noodles is wasting firewood.look at it from a store owners view,do you want someone bringing in a bag of sawdust to try and sell(NO). will it sell? i dont know,go for it,personally i would give it away FREE to the people who BUY your firewood.you'd be surprised how much better you look .
You get a lot out of one 16" round, dont need to cut to many up, so not really wasting it. plus its popple/aspen so its of abundance in my grandfathers woods, good 40 acres of it and hes having me cut him a trail, i get to keep the wood as i go along.
I like the idea of giving it away to people who buy wood, ill start doing that from now on. thanks.
