Fire Thread! - Stoves, Wood, Axes, Chainsaws
Ex Royal Mail boxes I bought for a quid each
Yeah, mine is bad for that as well. She still doesn't get the 'man make fire' thing yetthe Mrs declared she was too hot and not to put any more logs on
Get with the times fella, asymmetric is inThey don't match ????-- Come on pull yourself together.
I am now going to call them biggy and shorty.
I'm also thinking as I'm about to order some wood that it's better to order a half pallet of just ash and make kindling from some of it, rather than order less wood and some kindling.
Some heat logs as well purely for great as they're much cheaper than logs.
What was that gadget someone in here mentioned for splitting logs/kindling?

Kindling Cracker Firewood Splitters
The Kindling Cracker™ firewood splitter is one of the safest and easiest ways in the world to cut kindling and you will be super impressed with how much easier it is to do. To make your own kindling easily all you need is some wood and a Kindling hammer or your own mallet to strike the wood...

I wouldn't personally make kindling from decent hardwood / seasoned logs.
Either buying (although expensive from most places for what it is) or making your own would be the best way to go
I got some untreated joiners offcuts which make perfect kindling
In terms of the "gadget" it is exactly the one you linked in @JonRGV250 post

Make my own but not from hardwood. What then I've looked on eBay and it's all either hardwood IE oak or MDF rubbish.I wouldn't personally make kindling from decent hardwood / seasoned logs.

No chance I'm buying kindling as it's cheaper to buy hardwood logs.
Definately haunted 
Back to kindling, I chop up a load and lob it next to the stove to keep it warm and toasty (and dry).
The stuff at the front is red cedar for lighting briquettes (it burns super fast and hot) and the stuff at the rear is birch which is better for getting coal going.

They’re ideal, just try and find untreated pallets.
