Also called regionally fat pine, fatwood; Also called lightwood. REGIONAL NOTE In the southern United States, there are several regional terms for kindling. Lightwood, derived from the verb light (as in to light a fire), probably originated in Virginia and is now used throughout the South and especially in the South Atlantic states. Fatwood is used chiefly in Florida and Georgia. Fat pine also refers to the longleaf pine, native to the Gulf states, whose resin makes even a small sliver of the wood easily kindled. http://www.answers.com/topic/kindling Also called 'Anmachholz' http://www.proz.com/kudoz/839696 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2009-03-31 10:18:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's a picture of a kindling machine http://georgesgreenery.blogspot.com/2008/01/antique-power-ax... |
