Fatwood is prized for use as kindling in starting fires. The first company to commercialize Fatwood started in 1648. Fatwood lights quicly 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 Hearty Evergreen Fatwood is displayed in a hand forged mini-log holder and looks great on the hearth or mantle.
