Hello fello /out/tists lets talk about fatwood

For the uninitiated:
Fatwood, also known as "fat lighter," "lighter wood," "rich lighter," "pine knot," "lighter knot," "heart pine" is derived from the heartwood of pine trees. The stump (and tap root) left in the ground after a tree has fallen gets resin-impregnated heartwood, it becomes hard and rot-resistant, the joints where limbs intersect the trunk, can also be harvested.

Why its good:
>Because of the flammability of terpene, fatwood is prized for use as kindling in starting fires.
> It lights quickly even when wet, is very wind resistant, and burns hot enough to light larger pieces of wood.
> A small piece of fatwood can be used many times to create tinder by shaving small curls and using them to light other larger tinder.
> The pitch-soaked wood produces an oily, sooty smoke, and it is recommended that one should not cook on a fire until all the fatwood has completely burned out.
> It burns so hot its able to damage stoves
> With high amounts of resin it can become somewhat waterproof
