I had a friend who liked to do this with if parent's trash fires when he was a teenager. It caught up with him and he received some very serious burns. He picked up the name "squirt" which stayed with him much of the rest of his life. He died of cancer a few years ago but always kept a sense humor over that incident.

Exactly, I used it mostly 5~7 pieces at a time for helping to start the fire.
Exactly, the flames will to way up the chimney in an indoors fireplace.
Same here Leon, ____I use my walnut offcuts____... The shavings are just great starters... Walnut is a beautiful burning wood. I think from the oils inside. It just glows man.... Clean and hot..
Looks like the governor of Colorado has isssued an executive order prohibiting open burning and fireworks.

I don't know about open burning, but good for him on the fireworks. People around here think the 4th of July is a month long holiday. I don't mind fireworks on July 4th. But they get more than a little annoying at 2 am on July 5th.... and 6th... and June 25th.
You kids get off my lawn!! LOL ... getting older, eh Mike? :)
Yes and no. :-) I'm talking 1, 2, 3 in the morning. Like the dogs. This year, I think I'll wait until about 5am and take a snare drum over to each house and play rimshots every 4 seconds until they come out to ask me if I'm crazy.

You will be crazy when you end up with a bullet in the butt.
Oh no! the drummer's first line of defense, the "rim shot"!
(let me know before you deploy the drummer's "nuclear option":
... the cowbell ... I'll move even further South). ;)
Got that right. :-)
I got a fevah!....."
