My good Daddy used paper, kindling and the like.
I heard tell that the Indians would take the pieces
of Birch bark and leaves, strike a spark by hitting flint with steel and by Jove they invented fire.

I call it the black file box because all the junk mail goes into it. When I throw the iron skillet on top and cook breakfast, the excess bacon grease gets poured onto newspaper and tossed in too- a trick for only the fire-bugs to do. No need for a paper shredder around here in the winter months!

In the old days it was newspapers, then kindling.
Today 'fatwood' works best. It's wood saturated with paraffin wax. It's also great for starting campfires. It even works in the rain!

Pine cones, pine needles, used paper egg cartons, saw dust, dry wood chips from the chopping block.
