Start with Kindling

This was a good article about starting fires, but it is very incomplete. I was expecting a comparison of various kinds of kindling, like paper vs. twigs. Instead it was a simple description of how kindling is used to start a fire.

It appears to be discussing the merits of transitioning to slow burning wood but does not mention how to get the right distribution of hot coals, or how to clean up the ashes.

What is it Evan, propane or charcoal?

All in all I think the author needs to learn more ways to make fire.

(As an extended metaphor, this article isn't.)

Waiting for the sequel: Finish with the relevant part of the metaphor.

Start with tinder. Then add kindling.
