yep, we grew up picking up pineknots in the woods ,
best kindling there is.
Where do you get that stuff?
It could have been Loblolly, Slash, or Longleaf since those are the type of pine trees that were harvested off this property about 20 years ago.What sort of Pine is that?
Years ago folks used them for torches,burns a real black smoke.
Note: Edited for clarity.I use pine cones.. Then ends cut off 2 x4's and pine cones work for me. Pine cones and some hardwood split down with a hatchet start a roaring fire in 5 to 10 minutes. I never was really taught. I haven't been burning wood all that long.
