Newspapers

Do any of you use newspapers to start your fires or does everyone use fire starters

 

Newspapers here. Only newspaper.....no glossys.

 

Same

 

Newspaper or brown paper.

 

I keep a 55 gallon barrel of noodles and one of splitter scraps to start fires.

 

I always rake up all the scraps after I split wood and I have access to unlimited amounts of newspapers from work so i usually take newspaper whenever I start running low

 

I shred anything with my name on it, that is used for starting fires. I also use splitting scraps, low hanging dead branches from the back 40 or branches that have fallen. Supplemented with splitting up squaw wood into smaller pieces.

 

Mostly pine cones....some super cedars.
I have a whole lope box full of kiln dried white oak flooring scrap for gettin things goin...

 

Ditto.
Plus splitter scraps.

 

Super cedars and pine cones here, no paper.

 

I use the small Duraflame Firestart firefighters in my fireplace

 

Just newspaper here. I've been saving my dryer lint but I keep forgetting to use it lol. I have a shopping bag full of it on a table next to the dryer.

 

Newspaper and splittings

 

Newspaper, chips from splitting, and 2 pieces of fatwood. 2 birch splits on top of that. No doubt we will have fire.

 

Scraps from splitting, lumber scraps from projects, fire starters. No paper in my stove.

 

Fatwood or whatever brand is sold at the big box stores. Two bags will get me through the season.

 

like others newspaper, scraps from splitting, and small branches that fall from my yard trees. I will occasionally make extra kindling from shorts.

 

Newspaper and egg carton firestarters. Small branches and cutoffs from the shop too.
Popsicle sticks too.

 

Uh, have you ever used FTs? Eric Eric VW wants to know.

 

newspaper and pine branches for kindling
I tried pine cones and wasn't impressed. Have three 50 pound bags from sunflower seed full of them too.
