An update: while looking to place a new Super Cedar order, I came across a steal for Fire Nuggets: 200 for $40.

They easily cut in two, so I've now got 400 fire starters that work really well. I might even be able to cut them in four given my wood is so dry, but I think they might start to crumble.

I also took the remaining sheddings and wrapped them up in (Viva) paper towels to make another five or six starters.

Yay me!

Still working on my 40 pound box of fat wood. Will give them a look when it’s time to reorder. You are frugal

My frugality is 20% necessity on two teacher salaries, 20% game to see how free I can make this heat (in 15 years, I've not paid for wood), 20% good exercise, 20% the appreciation of self-reliance and security, and 20% the joy of playing with cool toys!

I just go out in the woods behind my house and load up on kindling before the snow flies. If you can't break it over your knee, then it's not dry enough!
All those free news fliers make good fire starters. Once I get it going I throw a few pieces of dry pine, old 2x4's I've cut up from projects, to get a good fire going. Then the hard wood goes in.

Exactly. Would like to add the Laconia DS is free. It’s excellent for fire starting. Burning the white pine I cut and spilt a few years back. Burns well and quickly. However, i must attend to the fire more often.
