A Kindling you may not have thought of.

[Le Loup]

I only use this for lighting our house fires, but I thought some of you might be interested. I know some Bushcrafters carry home made items for fire lighting like greased cotton wool balls, so this might be of use to you. We dry the peel from mandarins' & oranges & use it as kindling. Mandarin peel is thinner & takes flame quicker than the thicker orange peel but both work well. The oil in the peel is very volatile, & once it starts to burn it will flare creating a lot of heat.
Regards to all,
Keith.

I've heard of this but haven't tried it. Apparently it smells nice.
