Fat wood!
fatwood.jpg
You can gather it yourself in the base of pine trees or where branches meet the tree trunk, but the "stump" area is the best
Also you can buy boxes of it in some firewood/charcoal sections of walmart and some grocery stores
It smells VERy piney almost with a hint of turpentine
Lights EXTREMELY well and burns awhile due to being saturated with tree resin, which contains terpene you can read up on it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terpene

Warning to all! If you are chopping up fatwood beware...knots that are saturated with resin will chip a knife in a heartbeat!
Don't ask me how I know, I don't want to relive it.
