It is harder that the regular pine. The sap is pine tar or turpentine. The best kind for kindling is the result of a forrest fire that moves too quickly to burn the entire tree but "seasons" the tar and brings it closer to the surface. Any part of the pine that has not been burned too much can be cut in chips or strips and it is easily lit. It burns very hot and will usually start a good fire, especially in the fire place, with little effort. dave o A “fat lightered knot” is formed by a limb growing out of a pine tree.
