Fatwoo is a fire starter that is cut from the stump of a pine tree. The base of the pine tree collects the fire starting resin that flows throughout the tree; when the tree is cut down, the stump has retained all of the resin and becomes the perfect kind of wood for fatwood. The process for making fatwood is environmentally friendly, since it uses a part of the tree that would otherwise be unused. The stump has a large amount of natural resin that can easily sustain a flame; fatwood is an approximately 8" stick cut from the stump. The fatwood is 100% natural and can be used to start things such as fireplaces, barbecues, and campfires. Fatwood is one of the only fire starters that is all natural. It can be used as easily as a liquid flammable fire starter or a product soaked in kerosene, and it is relatively safe as well.
